born 1966, studied chemistry at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, and received his doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Colorado. After holding a post-doctorate position at the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York City, he was Assistant Professor and Firmenich Associate Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, USA from 1998 – 2002. Between 2003 and 2009, he was a Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich. Since 2009, he has held the position of Director of the Department of Biomolecular Systems at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, and Professor at the Freie Universität Berlin. His working group researches in the border area between chemistry and biology. In addition to ground-breaking inventions in the area of automatic syntheses of complex sugars, he is developing new synthesis methods (microreactors, among others) for the complete synthesis of biologically active compounds.
Malaria represents a global threat to health, which is difficult to keep under control. Amongst more than 200 million sufferers, over 500,000 die each year of the disease, with the risk of (…)
First programmable photocatalyst developed
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces have developed a sustainable and "smart photocatalyst". The special feature: as a so-called smart material, it can distinguish between the colors of light (blue, red and green) and, in response, enables a specific chemical r ... more
In milliseconds from polluted to clear water
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces developed a membrane that is composed of a bundle of nanometer-sized tubes. They used it as a nanoreactor to convert water marked with methylene blue into clear water in milliseconds using sunlight as a driver. ‘Running reac ... more
Green Chemistry: Sustainable p-xylene production
Lemonade, juice and mineral water often come in PET bottles. While these are practical and functional, their production is complex and not necessarily sustainable. The starting material for terephthalic acid, which is used to produce saturated polyesters such as PET (Polyethylene terephthal ... more
With Light in the Fight against Malaria
Malaria represents a global threat to health, which is difficult to keep under control. Amongst more than 200 million sufferers, over 500,000 die each year of the disease, with the risk of a fatal outcome being particularly high in children [1]. more
born 1983, studied chemistry at the University of Regensburg and received his doctorate from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, in the Department of Colloid Chemistry. Since Sept. 2011, he has been working as a post-doctoral fellow for Prof. Dr. Seeberger at the ... more
