Second funding period of Research Training Group approved
Congratulations! The German Research Foundation (DFG) is once again funding a Research Training Groups (RTG) at MLU with around four million euros. This will enable the successful training of doctoral students from the fields of chemistry, physics, biochemistry and mathematics.
The Research Training Group “Beyond Amphiphilicity: Self-Organization of Soft Matter Via Multiple Noncovalent Interactions (GRK 2670)” is investigating a fundamental organizing principle for molecules: amphiphilicity. This is the property of substances to be soluble in both fat and water. Soap is a common example. In nature, amphiphilicity occurs as a universal building principle of molecules. It is often extended by giving molecules an additional charge or another atom. This creates interactions between the molecules that make complex structures such as proteins and polymers possible in the first place.
