Chemistry and Bioanalytics

Producing and characterising new substances – developing and applying new test systems.

The Chemistry and Bioanalytics research fields are interdisciplinary, at the interface of chemistry, biology, medicine and pharmaceutical technology. Our work in chemistry focuses on production and characterization of new substances and materials, using cutting edge methods in synthesis chemistry, analytics, process engineering and surface- and nanotechnology. In bioanalytics we develop easy to use diagnostic test systems that patients can administer themselves. This is thanks to the broad range of molecular biology, protein biochemistry and cell culture technologies at our disposal. In drug development we design in vitro tests, as well as state of the art 3D cellular test systems to simulate organ function and which can partially replace animal testing.

Our team-oriented organizational structure is based on largely independent research groups with a high degree of personal responsibility. Our staff have years of industry experience, which they incorporate both into their research and their teaching.

Our diverse yet highly focused specialisms allow us to take an interdisciplinary approach to applied research and development projects in various fields of life sciences.
