as a Mercator Fellow at the Institute of Technical Chemistry (TCI), Leibniz Universität Hannover, being part of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) – German Research Foundation Research Unit FOR 5730, DESMOL2PRO!
From her longstanding research at the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, University of Zagreb / Sveučilište u Zagrebu (Croatia), she brings her deep expertise in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and their applications in food technology and biotechnology. She thereby focuses on the design of DESs tailored for biocatalytic reactions and the stabilisation of sensitive compounds such as proteins, plant metabolites, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Marina is therefore an exceptional addition to our team!
🧪 Over the next six months in Hanover, and through ongoing involvement in our research and training activities, Marina will contribute significantly to the success of DFG FOR 5730 by collaborating across subprojects, sharing her expertise, and mentoring junior scientists.
