Research Activities

The main research field of our group is electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. We are concerned with:

New state-of-the-art experimental and technical developments.

As well as applications of these methods to (biologically) relevant topics like

Measuring Nanometer Scale Distances by high-field Pulse Electron Paramagnetic Resonance using Mn(II) Spin-Labels ( ANR / DFG )
Development of an in-bore DNP Polarizer at 1.5 T Magnetic Field for in vivo MRI and MRS Studies (MRI-DNP / DFG)
Transport and Communication across Biological Membranes (SFB 807/P7)
Molecular Principles of RNA-based Regulation
Teil Projekt A03: EPR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen der Struktur und konformationellen Flexibilität von RNA (SFB 902 / DFG)
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization: Integrating fundamentals and new applications (DIP / DFG)
Cluster of Excellence Macromolecular Complexes (CEF / DFG)
Hyperpolarisation Physics and Methodology for NMR and MRI (COST / DNP)
Center for Biomolecular Magnetic Resonance (BMRZ)

and

Service research for industrial companies and off-campus institutions.
