Christian Schulze Gronover, born in 1975, is a molecular biologist who received his doctorate in biology from the University of Münster in 2004. During his doctoral studies, he was a visiting scientist at the Scottish Crop Research Institute in Dundee, Scotland, and at the Graduate School for Experimental Plant Sciences in Utrecht, the Netherlands. After two years as a postdoc working in plant and microbial biotechnology he joined The Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IME, Münster, Germany, in 2006 and has been a group leader there since 2010. His focus is molecular biotechnology and plant breeding research.

More than 12,500 plants produce latex, a colorless to white milky sap that contains, among other things, natural rubber. However, this industrially indispensable raw material is found in (…)
Spider venom for therapeutics and bioinsecticides
The venom of a single spider can contain up to 3000 components. These components, mostly peptides, can be used to develop promising drug leads for the treatment of diseases. Spider venom can also be used as a biological pesticide. A team of scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute for Molec ... more
Fuel and chemicals from steel plant exhaust gases
Carbon monoxide-rich exhaust gases from steel plants are only being reclaimed to a minor extent as power or heat. Fraunhofer researchers have developed a new recycling process for this materially unused carbon resource: They successfully produced fuel and specialty chemicals from these exha ... more
Natural rubber from dandelions
Dandelions are modest plants that are an excellent alternative source for a raw material of high demand: natural rubber, the fundamental ingredient in rubber products. Fraunhofer researchers have established the basis for the large-scale production of high quality rubber with Russian dandel ... more
Dandelions as a new source of natural rubber
More than 12,500 plants produce latex, a colorless to white milky sap that contains, among other things, natural rubber. However, this industrially indispensable raw material is found in only three plants in a quality required to produce high-performance rubber products such as car tires. more
More than 200,000 animal species produce poison to defend themselves against predators or to kill their prey. These poisons are usually complex mixtures of different toxins that have been functionally optimized over the course of evolution. For this reason, animal poisons are also a valuabl ... more
Andreas Vilcinskas, born in 1964, studied biology at TU Kaiserslautern and at Freie Universität Berlin (FU Berlin). He received his doctorate from the Zoology Dept. at FU Berlin in 1994 and completed his qualification as a professor (“habilitation”) there in zoology in 1998. From 1999 to 20 ... more
