Short Profile:
(please see nomination submission)

Question and Answers :

What are your future goals? Where do you see your research going?:
development of novel molecular probes and improved/novel specific detection and targeting principles
making contributions from the chemist’s point of view to interdisciplinry community as future/luck will have it

Technologies seem to changing faster than ever, how do you adapt to that? What are the current technologies you are using?:
Staiing tuned for more follow-up. Classical and modern techniques of chemical synthesis and structure analysis (especially NMR and MS-techniques), transmission microscopy and especially confocal laser fluorescence microscopy, tissue engineering

In the broader picture, where do you see the application for your cutting-edge research?:
In life sciences: improved targeting approaches which provide enhanced detection sensitivity, specificity, optical resolution and equipment compatibility at the cutting site beween molecular recognition at the molecular level and macroscopic visualization

Fast forward to 2020. What’s your vision of Genomics in 2020?:
new levels especially in computational genomics, system biology and cheminformatics
first prototypes of self-assemblying molecular devices (”nanobots”) for medical applications?
