Nadiia Gumerova

Nadiia Gumerova, PhD, is a researcher at the Institute of Biophysical Chemistry under the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Vienna, Austria. Her work focuses on polyoxometalate chemistry, including targeted synthesis, structural analysis, and biomedical applications. She has published extensively on aqueous speciation, metal-substituted polyoxometalates, and their interactions with proteins and biological systems.

• PhD in Inorganic Chemistry (2014), Donetsk National University
• Post-doctoral fellow (2019–present), University of Vienna
• Lise Meitner fellow (2017–2019), University of Vienna

Her research interests encompass polyoxometalate design, structural transformations in biological environments, and development of bioactive materials. Recent work includes studies on vanadate-protein interactions, antibiotic activity of Preyssler-type clusters, and enzyme inhibition by polyoxotungstates.

Publications (15 most recent) highlight trends in polyoxometalate speciation under varying ionic strengths, biomedical applications of Anderson-Evans and Keggin-type derivatives, and structural insights into metal-substituted tungsten clusters. Keywords span Inorganic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Materials Science.

Grants include the FWF Meitner Program M2203 (2017–2019) and FWF Stand-Alone Project P33927 (2021–2023). She collaborates with the RompelLab and contributes to interdisciplinary projects applying inorganic chemistry in biological contexts.
