معرفی
Jun.-Prof. Dr. Anne Jantschke is an Assistant Professor of Biomineralization/Crystallography at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, leading the Biomineralization/Crystallography Group. Her research focuses on biomineralization processes in microalgae, particularly dinoflagellates, and their applications in bioinspired materials. She holds a Dr. rer. nat. summa cum laude (2014) from TU Dresden and has held positions including Junior Group Leader at TU Dresden (2018–2021) and Postdoctoral Researcher at the Weizmann Institute of Science (2016–2017). Her work integrates microscopy (cryo-SEM, FIB-SEM), spectroscopy (NMR, Raman), and nanotechnology to study biomineralization pathways and functionalize algal-derived materials.
Key research themes include calcification mechanisms in dinoflagellates, guanine crystal roles in photosynthesis, and cellulose nanofiber production from microalgae. She leads projects like DinoLight, aiming to develop perovskite nanostructures using algal templates. Awards include the DFG Research Grant and Weizmann Institute's Dean of Faculty Fellowship. Her lab cultivates strains like Calciodinellum operosum aff. and explores their industrial applications in catalysis and drug delivery.
Notable publications address topics such as foraminifer shell crystallography, cellulose nanomaterials, and guanine solid solutions. She emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, with affiliations to institutions like B CUBE and TU Dresden's Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry.
