The project aims to establish a unique laboratory in Germany for the isolation and photochemical characterization of (macro)molecular intermediates in complex process cascades, such as the formation of photoinduced damage in DNA and RNA or molecular photocatalysis. The requested infrastructure will strengthen research on light-responsive molecules for photodynamic therapy and solar energy conversion at Leibniz-IPHT. Additionally, it will support the establishment of a junior research group in the field of Origins of Life, led by Dr. Corinna L. Kufner.

The project is funded by the Free State of Thuringia under the number 2024 FGI 0025 and co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
