Researcher in Engineering and Data analysis of nanopore-based biosensors

The Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology conducts high-quality research and education in chemical sciences and molecular life sciences. Our research and education focuses on a deep understanding of chemical and biological processes in cells and in the environment. We address important societal issues such as antibiotic resistance, cancer, brain diseases, environmental problems and climate change. In this way, we contribute to achieving the UN's global goals for sustainable development in the areas of good health and well-being, sustainable energy for all, sustainable cities and communities, and combating climate change. The department is an international environment with interdisciplinary collaborations in both research and education, and contributes strongly to the University of Gothenburg's top ranking in life science. The department is responsible for postgraduate education in the subject area Natural Sciences with a focus on chemistry, biophysics, biology and educational science. In addition, the department hosts educational programs in molecular biology, genomics and systems biology, chemistry, organic chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry, as well as prescription education. The department collaborates with various societal actors such as schools, business and authorities. The Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology has around 250 employees. We are located in a newly built Natrium building located in the central part of Gothenburg.

Tietze lab is a part of the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular and Translational Medicine ) which conducts basic and clinical research in the fields of metabolism, neuroscience, cancer, inflammation, degenerative diseases, genomics and life science chemistry and composed of 32 research teams on Göteborg's side which research is focused on important questions in medicine with a special interest in translation molecular medicine. Tietze lab ) focuses on bioinspired chemical engineering of peptide-based molecules/ materials towards diagnostics and drug delivery. Her research team develops novel approaches to provide access to highly hydrophobic peptides/peptide mimetics, i.e. transmembrane peptides/proteins and venom-derived cysteine-rich peptides. Her lab develops novel conjugation methods, explore SAR properties of novel bioactive peptides, and engineer peptide-based nanosensors.
