The Molecular Design & Innovation Laboratory (MINDlab) is dedicated to research in synthetic chemistry and functional materials, with a strong focus on innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration. As a part of the Center of Structural Chemistry (CQE) at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, we explore the frontiers of molecular design to develop new compounds and materials with a diversity of applications.

MINDlab is led by Prof. Alex Kirillov and brings together a dynamic team of researchers and PhD/MSc students. Together, we combine expertise, creativity, and state-of-the-art methodologies to address fundamental challenges in chemistry and materials science.
