Development of Biomolecules for Selective Binding of Specific Short PFAS (Id 436)
Bachelor theses / Master theses / Diploma theses / Compulsory internship / Volunteer internship
The research project focuses on identifying biomolecules for the selective binding of short per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The aim is to develop biomolecules for the targeted removal of short PFAS from aqueous solutions such as industrial wastewater. Using advanced screening methods, biomolecules or microorganisms that can interact with specific groups of short-chain PFAS compounds will be identified. Tasks include extensive literature research on relevant PFAS molecules and potential biomolecule ligands, method development for characterizing interactions and screening available biomolecules and microbes.

Development of peptides for the modification of plastic surfaces prior to metallisation (Id 435)
Master theses / Diploma theses / Compulsory internship / Volunteer internship
The research project ‘Development of tailor-made peptides for the treatment of polymers before the metallization of plastics’ aims to develop a biomolecule-based system that enables the metallization of high-quality engineering plastics. Using phage surface display technology (PSD), peptides are selected and their binding behavior is characterized using suitable technologies to quantify the surface interaction. Our industrial partner tests suitable peptide sequences in practical polymer coating and metallization experiments.
