Eric Sletten

Dr. Eric Sletten serves as a Research Fellow and Project Leader within the Biomolecular Systems department at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany. His role centers on leading independent research initiatives in molecular science at this prestigious non-university research institution.

His research spans biomolecular engineering and chemical biology, with emphasis on nanoscale systems design. Key focus areas include supramolecular chemistry, molecular recognition mechanisms, and self-assembly processes for developing functional biomaterials. This work bridges synthetic chemistry with biological applications to address challenges in molecular organization.

As head of the Biomolecular Systems research group, he directs experimental efforts in molecular design and characterization. The group operates within the institute's framework at Am Mühlenberg 1, leveraging specialized facilities for advanced colloidal and interfacial research while collaborating across international scientific networks.
