Professor Dr. Martin Albrecht

Biography

Martin Albrecht is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Bern. His research includes the exploitation of molecular properties of transition metals in defined environments to create active sites useful in chemistry, biology, and materials science. He focuses on altering the activity of metal centers through selective modifications of the ligand sphere, providing versatile methodologies tailored for various applications. Albrecht investigates organometallic components in active sites of materials, the development of new catalytic systems for the activation of unreactive bonds, and the use of supramolecular principles to tailor metal-centered processes. Additionally, he is interested in the relevance of carbene-type bonding motifs in biological systems. He has been affiliated with several esteemed institutions and has received notable awards for his research contributions.
