Prof. Thomas HERMANS receives ERC Consolidator Grant
January 31, 2023
Congratulations to Prof. Thomas HERMANS on receiving the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant! This five-year grant will finance his group's cutting-edge research in developing micrometer-scale supramolecular robots showing complex interactions and self-organization similar to that of living systems. Drawing inspiration from the dynamic properties of microtubules, this project promises to make significant contributions to the field of Systems Chemistry, specifically focusing on out-of-equilibrium self-assembly driven by chemical reaction networks. The research promises to provide new insights into the fascinating world of cellular mechanics and artificial materials, and we are thrilled to see this project come to life.
