Univ.Prof. Dr. Erik Reimhult re-elected to the FWF Board

The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) re-elected Univ.Prof. Dr. Erik Reimhult Reporter for Inorganic Chemistry for the next three years; this seat includes responsibility for the areas of physical chemistry, colloids, and interfaces, which are his specialty. His election testifies to the contribution of the Department of Bionanosciences to these research areas in Austria.

Biologically inspired materials (BIMat)

At the Institute of Biologically inspired materials we take an interest in the nano- and micro-scale organization of systems either created according to biologically relevant principles or of biological origin. We study colloid and biointerface interactions with particular focus on core-shell nanoparticles and bacterial membranes.
