Reseach Grants Our research on photoswitchable hydrogels is supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft with an Individual Grant PI 1124/6-1 since November 2016. Since May 2017 we fully participate in the B1 subproject of the DFG Graduiertenkolleg 2039 on fluorescent in vivo imaging.

Group Members

Tobias Bantle is about to finish his master thesis in April 2017. He will continue the research on PNA oligomers and photoswitchable molecules, including fluorophores, during his PhD thesis which will start in our group on the 01.05.2017.

Group members

Christian Hald joined our group for his 6-weeks student training in January 2017. His work is focused on synthesis of novel photoswitchable aminoacids and 2,5-diketopiperazines.
