Focus and Topics

Supramolecular nanosystems and assemblies have great potential and play an increasingly important role in todays technology and modern medicine. The summer school will provide an introduction to the fundamental forces, interactions and mechanisms governing the formation structure and properties of supramolecular nanosystems. Individual lectures will focus on the following topics:

  • Intermolecular forces
  • Self assembly of dyes
  • Thermodynamics of colloidal nanosystems
  • Polymer self assemblies
  • Nanochemistry
  • Liquid crystals
  • Soft biomaterials
  • Nanoassemblies for drug delivery

The program will consist of a combination of lectures, tutorials, poster sessions and lab tours.

Speakers

Lectures will be held by

  • Prof. Ingo Fischer, Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, JMU Würzburg
  • Prof. Jürgen Groll, Department for Functional Materials in Medicine and Dentistry, JMU Würzburg
  • Prof. Tobias Hertel, Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, JMU Würzburg
  • Prof. Dirk Kurth, Materials Synthesis, JMU Würzburg
  • Prof. Matthias Lehmann, Institute of Organic Chemistry, JMU Würzburg
  • Prof. Robert Luxenhofer, Materials Synthesis, JMU Würzburg
  • Prof. Alexander V. Kabanov, Center for Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery, Carolina Institute for Nanomedicine
  • Prof. Frank Würthner, Institute of Organic Chemistry, JMU Würzburg

Target audience

The school is aimed at advanced master- as well as PhD students or postdocs with a background in chemistry, biochemistry or materials sciences. Admission is limited to no more than 50 participants.

Location

The summer school will be held at the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy of the University of Würzburg, one of the top ranked chemistry faculties in Germany and Europe. Würzburg is a vibrant student town in northern Bavaria with several historic landmarks. The city can be conveniently reached by car, train or by air from Frankfurt airport (train connection to/from in 1:20h). The city with its population of 130.000 is known not only for the international reputation of its University with 26.000 students, but also for its rich historic heritage (part of the UNESCO world heritage) and for its rich regional winemaking culture.
