New Publication on Reversible Catalysis in Nature Reviews Chemistry
A perspective on reversible catalysis led by our very close collaborators Vincent Fourmond and Christophe Léger has been published in Nature Reviews Chemistry!
Alaa and Tobias start their independent careers with the EXIST project LiveSEN
As part of the ERC Proof-of-Concept Grant LiveSen, Alaa and Tobias were able to develop an electrochemical biosensor for agriculture. Now they are starting their independent career with the EXIST Transfer of Research!
Vincent joins the TUMCS as Group leader
Vincent Friebe will become an independent group leader in the EBT professorship, aming to develop bioelectrochemical sensors that detect pesticide residues with high specificity and sensitivity.
Publication about reversible hydrogenase catalysis in Nature Catalysis
A new publication by Steffen, Stefanie and Filmon on reversible catalysis with hydrogenase has appeared in Nature Catalysis!
Huaiguang publishes the final paper of his PhD and goes to Cambridge
With two great publications in JACS Au and Chem, Huaiguang is leaving our group to go as a postdoc to Cambridge. It has been a successful and enjoyable time and we wish him every success in Cambridge!
Priscila receives a Kékule Fellowship
Priscila receives a Kékule Fellowship from the Verband der Chemischen Industrie e.V. for the development of the electrosynthesis of peptides. With this fascinating project, she will enrich the group with another field of research.
Xie starts her Marie Curie individual fellowship on directed evolution
After receiving a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship, Xie begins her research on directed evolution via O2-reducing enzymes. She pursues a completely new electrochemical approach to develop powerful biocathodes.
Artificial maturation of hydrogenase in redox-active polymers
A wonderful paper by Steffen and Christophe Léger’s group was published in Chemical Communications! This is another important step for biohybrid systems for industrial hydrogen production.
Foundation of the Professorship for Electrobiobiotechnology
After 10 years of teaching and research at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Professor Nicolas Plumeré has been appointed to the Campus for Biotechnology and Sustainability at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Prof. Plumeré thus takes over the newly established professorship for Electrobiotechnology and thereby represents the link between classical electrochemistry and modern biotechnological systems at TUMCS.
