Since the start of our independent research at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Zurich in 2009, our group has been, among other topics, working on the use of metal complexes in medicinal chemistry. In this short review article, we highlight our recent achievements in the use of such compounds to fight the parasitic disease schistosomiasis.
