Introducing Ulrich Rant: Sensing Life's Interactions - From the Cell to the Molecule
Ulrich Rant - Professor of Physical Chemistry/ Measurement and Sensor Technology
Published on in RTG 2767 NEWS

Immune reactions and cell growth are controlled by countless volatile interactions between biomolecules. They are key for the development of new medications. Our Principal Investigator Prof. Ulrich Rant has been Director of the Kurt Schwabe Institute Meinsberg since 2025 and holds the Chair of Physical Chemistry/ Measurement and Sensor Technology, at TUD.
In his university-wide inaugural lecture on May 15, 2025, he will talk about the interface between biophysics, engineering and molecular biology and present biosensor technologies that make the invisible bonds and resolutions between individual molecules visible. This can be used to identify promising drug candidates for therapies with multispecific small molecules and antibodies and expand our understanding of their effects in complex biological environments such as cancer cells.
