Welcome to the website of «Folding with Halogen Bonding»
a Project funded by an ERC Starting Grant awarded to
Professor Pierangelo Metrangolo within the Programme «Ideas»
of the European Union's Seventh Research Framework Programme (FP7).

Halogenated tyrosines are biomarkers of protein oxidative stress related diseases like cystic fibrosis, atherosclerotic intima, sepsis, asthma.

The European Research Council (ERC)

erc background The European Research Council (ERC) – the first pan-European funding body for frontier research - was set up in 2007 under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7, the EU's main instrument for funding research in Europe, running from 2007-2013).
It aims to enhance the dynamic character, creativity and excellence of European research at the frontiers of knowledge.
Through peer reviewed competitions the best researchers are funded to perform their research in Europe. The total budget allocated to the ERC for the period 2007 to 2013 is € 7.5 billion.

TEDx Talk for Principal Investigator
Prof. Pierangelo Metrangolo gave a talk entitled "molecular machines" in a TEDx event organized by Politecnico di Milano on December 13^th, 2016. This contribution is a tribute to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa, winners of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2016. In the context of supramolecular chemistry, also the aims of FoldHalo have been mentioned.
