Unifying Systems in Catalysis

You're or late stage student ? Then don't miss this year's PostDoc Day on November 7 and 8 as part of this year's Berlin Science Week. The registration is still open TODAY: https://www.mdc-berlin.de/postdoc-day

We are pleased that researchers are also involved in the organization of the event. There will be presentations by various young and experienced academics and other prominent members of the non-academic scientific industry. Participants will also be able to present their research findings in the form of flash talks and posters.

Berlin PostDoc Day Registrations open now !!

There have been so many interesting recently at . Here's an overview:

🧪 1) The group of Ariane Nunes Alves studied the pathways of and inhibitory gases through a hydrogenase in order to improve its inhibitor resistance. Hydrogenases are very interesting enzymes for clean applications.

Congratulations 👏 This year's Gerhard Ertl Lecture Award goes to Graham Hutchings. We're happy to share these great news and are already looking forward to the award ceremony in December!

With the award, Prof. Dr. Graham Hutchings is honored for his outstanding achievements in the development of novel heterogeneous catalysts based on gold nanocrystals and gold palladium alloy catalysts.

The award is named after Gerhard Ertl who won the Nobel prize in chemistry in 2007. We're proud to have him as our spiritus rector.

recently had the honour of having the renowned chemist Omar Yaghi from University of California, Berkeley, College of Chemistry for a colloquium. He gave fantastic insights into his work on "Organic for Solving the Problem".

This lecture was also his inaugural lecture for the presentation of the Humboldt Research Award. This award and the associated collaboration with the group of Prof. Matthias Driess at Technische Universität Berlin. This will enable Omar Yaghi to cooperate closely with in the future. We're looking forward to it!
