Wolfgang Kandioller

Wolfgang Kandioller is a Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Vienna, with expertise in organometallic chemistry for biomedical and environmental applications. His work bridges medicinal chemistry and inorganic materials design.

• Teaches courses such as "Chemisches Grundpraktikum" and "Anorganisch-chemisches Praktikum"
• Focuses on metal-based anticancer drugs and heavy metal extraction technologies

Research Interests:

• Development of ruthenium, rhodium, and osmium complexes for cancer therapy
• Design of ionic liquids for rare earth element recovery
• Investigation of ligand-metal interactions in biological systems

His recent publications highlight innovations in tridentate ligands, radiolabeled metallodrugs, and pH-responsive metal complexes, emphasizing aqueous stability and targeted activation. Collaborative work with institutions like the University of Vienna explores DNA topoisomerase inhibition, radionuclide extraction, and green chemistry approaches for sustainable metal recovery.
