Nominator's project description

Professor Berezovski is an internationally leading researcher in the field of Bioanalytical Chemistry. His research bridges chemistry and biology and aims to understand molecular processes of cancer and immune diseases. Furthermore, Professor Berezovski translates basic findings into new diagnostic tools, for example, to detect virus or bacterial infections. During his stay in Germany, he will continue his research on aptamers, which are also known as “synthetic antibodies”.
