Dr. Julita Eilmes is the Associate Professor in Organic Chemistry Department and Head of Supramolecular and Biomimetic Chemistry Group in Jagiellonian University. She has supervised seven PhD and twenty MSc theses.Currently she teaches Supramolecular Chemistry, Chemistry of Macrocyclic Complexes and Recent Advances in Organic Synthesis to MSc chemistry students further to supervising Advanced Organic Synthesis Laboratory. The research interests of her group revolve around the problems of the synthesis and supramolecular chemistry of macrocyclic ligands and of Schiff bases and their complexes with transition metals. The present group activity is aiming at preparation of new liquid crystalline materials, as well as of novel dibenzotetraaza[14]annulene derivatives of potential biomedical importance. Ongoing research projects: (i) New dicationic derivatives of dibenzotetraaza[14]annulene: tuning DNA/RNA binding properties; (ii) Design and synthesis of mesogens, metallomesogens and lacunar-type receptors based on dibenzotetraaza- [14]annulene; (iii) New macrocyclic receptors of anions and neutral molecules.
