Team

The “Biological and Macromolecular Materials” business unit at Fraunhofer IMWS stands for scientific excellence, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a strong focus on application-oriented research.

Our two groups, "Biofunctional Materials for Medical and Environmental Applications" and "Characterization of Medical and Cosmetic Care Products", bring together expertise from materials science, biology, chemistry, and engineering. United by a common goal, we develop innovative, high-impact solutions for industrial and medical applications, bridging the gap between fundamental research and real-world implementation.
