The Institute of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry (IOMC) is looking for a dedicated and motivated
to strengthen our interdisciplinary team for a sustainable polymer and particle platform.
Polymers and polymer particles are integral components of modern technologies, such as agriculture, the pharmaceutical, and biotechnologies. They protect sensitive active ingredients (vitamins, pheromones, genetic material) and enable their controlled release, leading to longer shelf life and higher efficacy. This project, funded by the Joachim Herz Foundation is dedicated to developing environmentally friendly and AI-optimized production processes for polymer particles. We utilize an innovative platform that combines technologies and procedures to develop tailor-made solutions for various applications, laying the groundwork for impactful future translations into real-world applications and potential new ventures.
