Synthesis of biaryl-based carbazoles C-H functionalization and exploration of their anticancer activities.

The synthesis of a library of new biaryl-based carbazoles bidentate directing group-assisted C-H functionalization and preliminary screening of the anticancer properties of biaryl-based carbazoles is reported. While various classes of modified carbazoles are known for their applications in materials and medicinal chemistry, to our knowledge, the biological activities of designed biaryl-based carbazoles have been rarely known. Given the prominence of carbazoles in research in medicinal chemistry, we envisioned the scope for new scaffolds of carbazole-based biaryl structures.

How to establish a new medical school? A scoping review of the key considerations.

Establishing new medical schools in medically under-served regions is suggested as part of the solution to the problem of doctor shortages and maldistributions. Establishing a new medical school is, however, a complex undertaking with high financial and political stakes. Critically, the evidence-base for this significant activity has not previously been elucidated.

Establishing new medical schools in diverse contexts: A novel conceptual framework for success.

Background: Establishing a new medical school is a significant venture involving many complex political, social, economic, educational, and organisational considerations. The published literature on the process of establishing a new medical school is, however, under-developed with minimal empirical research and no explicit reference to theory. This research sought to address these gaps and establish an empirical and theoretical evidence-base for the process of new medical school establishment in diverse contexts, particularly medically under-served areas.
