This is my second original artificial enzyme since going independent! Now I have both synthetic molecule-based (ACS Catal 2023) and metal ion-based ones. Ready for the new journey with them!

Professor Oliver Wenger has received an Advanced Grant for his research projects in photochemistry, which involve chemical reactions triggered by light. This plays a part in processes such as the conversion of solar energy into other forms of energy.

Professor Thomas Ward's ERC project "Bionix" explores new ways of producing nitrate, which plays a key role in global agriculture as a plant nutrient in fertilizers. Professor Ward and his team aim to establish an efficient process that uses significantly less energy and produces fewer emissions.
