Über Autor(innen)

Zbigniew Pianowski received his Ph.D. in chemistry in 2008 under the supervision of Prof. Nicolas Winssinger at ISIS ULP Strassbourg. Then, he joined the group of Prof. Donald Hilvert at ETH Zürich as postdoctoral fellow, working in the area of protein engineering. Since 2014, he has been an independent group leader (KIT Associate Fellow) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. His current research interests are focused on applications of molecular photoswitches to control biological systems, the origins of life on earth, and various aspects of synthetic biology.
