Biography

Julien Furrer is an Associate Professor at the University of Bern, heading the NMR Spectroscopy group. He completed his diploma in Chemistry at the University Louis Pasteur Strasbourg, followed by a PhD focusing on methodological experimental aspects of High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning (HR-MAS) NMR Technique. His postdoctoral research at the TU Munich enhanced his expertise in NMR structural elucidation of peptides and proteins. Furrer has held academic positions leading NMR facilities at various universities in Germany and Switzerland, including an academic lecturer role at the University of Bern. His research interests involve developing novel experimental methods in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and its applications for structural studies of biopolymers and organic compounds, currently investigating the cytotoxic effects of ruthenium complexes on cancer cells.
