Research Organized Around a Number of Groups and Centres

At the Institute of Organic Chemistry, research is conducted by the working groups of seven professors and two junior research groups. The working groups of Professors Butenschön, Kalesse, Kirschning and Plettenburg are very much characterized by organic synthesis. The working group of Professor Carlomagno focuses on structural biology. Professor Cox's group focuses on synthetic biology, while Professor Brönstrup concentrates on biological chemistry.

Junior Professor Marchanka's group works in the field of solid-state NMR spectroscopy and Dr. Jürjens' group in the field of antibiotics research.
