Christopher Barner-Kowollik awarded with two Medals
Principal Investigator Christopher Barner-Kowollik was awarded the David Craig Medal of the Australian Academy of Science as well as the HG Smith Medal of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute for his outstanding research on light as a “molecular surgical tool” for soft matter materials. His work fuses the in-depth understanding of chemical processes that are […]
New Public Lecture Series “3DMM2O”
On November 23, our new Public Lecture Series “3D Matter Made to Order” starts with a lecture by Principal Investigator Jochen Wittbrodt about the potential and limitations of Retinal Organoids. Within this series, different Cluster PIs explain the research in their groups and present previous successes to a wider audience. It takes place regularly on Wednesdays at […]
