Julia Reisenbauer  has been honored with the Prix Schläfli Chemistry for her dissertation on "skeletal editing," which she completed at the D-CHAB  of ETH Zurich (Morandi Group). Her work involves the targeted rebuilding of molecules so they can perform specific functions. 

A recent publication in “Matrix Biology”, which resulted from a collaboration between D-​CHAB (Wennemers group) and D-​BIOL (Werner group) within the frame of the SKINTEGRITY.CH project, demonstrates that an innovative chemical sensor offers visualization of collagen remodeling during tissue repair.

Dr. Nathalie M. Grob, currently Postdoctoral Researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has been appointed as Assistant Professor of Peptide-based Drug Discovery. Nathalie M. Grob’s research involves developing efficient methods of discovering new, peptide-based medications. Her teaching and research have a particular focus on pathologies that principally affect women and have been little studied to date. She was awarded an SNSF Starting Grant for her work.

To celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science in February, D-CHAB, in partnership with EducETH and WiNS, invited interested schoolgirls to look behind the scenes of the department on February 14, 2024. Here is a review of an afternoon full of bright, colorful, sustainable, and applied chemistry, from nanocrystals to artificial hearts.
