The Indo-German Workshop 2019 was based on the topic “Multivalent and Adaptive Bioinspired Materials” and had chemists from both India and Germany. Lectures from the leading groups covered the main themes of Organic Synthesis, Supramolecular Chemistry, Laser Spectroscopy, Nucleic Acids and Functional Materials. Frank also presented the recent projects of the group and got a lot of positive feedback.

We are happy to contribute with a little art work to the front cover of the Journal Chemical Science.

This highlights our article in the issue entitled Rational design and implementation of a cucurbit[8]uril-based indicator-displacement assay for application in blood serum.

We are happy about the press release of RSC about our current research. Please look here for details: Paving the way for personalised medicine

Check out our latest publication about indicator displacement assays in complex media. Thanks to our collaboration partners from the Bräse group!

On 19th of June our group went on a group activity which we gifted to Frank and Stephan for christmas to say THANK YOU! for the support in 2018. We went for dinner and afterwards teamed up and had a great time at the bowling alley.
