Another day filled with brilliant talks and great discussions! ๐คฉ Thank you to Serena DeBeer for delivering a fantastic plenary to kick off! Thank you as well to all of our speakers, poster presenters and sponsors for making Day 3 such a success! ๐๐ฌ #ICH2026 #leicester
A big congrats to all poster prize winners and the Best ECR Talk winner, Manon Lachmann!!! ๐ฅณ๐ #ICH2026 #leicester
That's a wrap on ICH2026 in Leicester! ๐ฌ What an incredible few days it's been! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for making this a memorable one! We hope you've enjoyed ICH Leicester as much as we have! Until next time, Hydrogenators! ๐๐งช #ICH2026 #leicester
Session 1 has wrapped! ๐ฅณ What a great morning of science we've had! We heard from two invited speakers and also heard two oral presentations! We also enjoyed some exciting flash poster presentations and heard from our sponsors!โจ๐งช Time to refuel over lunch! ๐ฝ๏ธ #ICH2026 #leicester
Session 2 is all done! โ We've just enjoyed five amazing talks from Kirstin Gutekunst, Holly Reeve, Filipe Pinto, Aniket Banerjee and Karen Trchounian! Let's keep the flow of electrons going... right into Session 3!โก๏ธ๐ #ICH2026 #leicester
Day 2 is off to a great start! ๐ Weโve already enjoyed a very interesting opening plenary from Chris Greening, followed by a great keynote lecture from Thomas Happe, and thereโs still plenty more to come! We canโt wait to see what the rest of the day brings! Stay tuned! ๐๐ #ICH2026 #leicester
๐จHelpful Hydrogenators spotted๐จ Donโt be afraid to ask any of our Helpful Hydrogenators for help around campus!๐๐ #ICH2026 #leicester
Day 1, complete! โ A brilliant opening day at #ICH2026, with a warm welcome, inspiring opening talks, and a fantastic reception to round it all off. Bonus points if you can spot one of our organisers in Prof. Kylie Vincent's plenary... ๐ On to Day 2! ๐ #ICH2026 #leicester
1 more day until #ICH2026! Weโre so excited to welcome everyone and hear about all the amazing research underway! In true Leicester fashion, expect a little rain tomorrow๐ฆ๏ธ so a bring a light jacket or an umbrella! The rest of the week is looking sunny! โ๏ธ See you tomorrow! #ICH2026 #leicester
Who's interested in time-resolved serial crystallography on [FeFe]-hydrogenase?? Check out Moritz' new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
The only thing more coordinated than our metallocentres is our conference prep ๐๐ฅณ See you soon at #ICH2026 in #leicester!
Any questions you may have about the conference or the registration, let me or my co-organizers know! We are looking forward to seeing you at Leicester very soon! ๐

Thank you to my amazing collaborators and the PhD student doing the work, Sam! Please have a read, it is a really interesting paper!
An elegant engineering strategy to perform step-wise truncations of the iron-sulfur cluster domains in semi-synthetic [FeFe] hydrogenases to investigate in detail the influence on the catalytic properties of the enzyme and the inhibitors binding!
I couldn't be happier to see this nice piece of work out! It is like my baby project, which I dedicated a lot of time and effort! lnkd.in/eKpyxrM5http...
