Our research in Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry encompasses the synthesis, structural elucidation, and application of organic molecules, whether naturally occurring or synthesized. We pride ourselves on a robust interdisciplinary approach, merging expertise in organic synthesis, protein science, molecular biology, NMR spectroscopy, and the analysis of complex carbon-based compounds.
Our research covers a broad spectrum of topics and integrates various scientific disciplines. These include the development of new methods for the synthesis of important chemical compounds, for example through the use of (bio)catalysts, the sustainable use of renewable resources, the investigation of the structural properties of (bio)organic molecules, and research into biologically active molecules.
Our interdisciplinary collaborations bring together experts across diverse scientific fields, fostering innovation and creating synergies that lead to groundbreaking discoveries. This collaborative spirit empowers us to comprehensively address complex scientific challenges and develop solutions with far-reaching impacts in modern chemistry and related disciplines.
Research Groups
Our institute brings together six specialized research groups that focus on various aspects of organic and bioorganic chemistry. Our colleagues are also active members of the BioHealth and Climate Change Graz profile-building areas. You can find our research topics and additional information here:
