معرفی
Prof. Jens Voskuhl is a Professor of Biosupramolecular Chemistry at the University of Duisburg-Essen, leading the Voskuhl Group within the Institut für Organische Chemie (Faculty of Chemistry). His research focuses on luminescent materials, aggregation-induced emission (AIE), and their applications in biomedical imaging, photodynamic therapy, and materials science. He holds a PhD from the University of Münster (2011) and has conducted postdoctoral research at institutions across Germany and the Netherlands. His group develops novel luminophores for imaging, drug delivery, and 3D printing additives, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaborations with physics, biology, and medicine.
Education:
- PhD in Chemistry, University of Münster (2008–2011)
- MSc and BSc in Chemistry, University of Münster (2002–2008)
His work spans biosupramolecular chemistry, AIE phenomena, phosphorescent materials, and nanoparticle design. Key areas include tracking cellular processes, photodynamic therapy using photosensitizers, and stimuli-responsive materials for additive manufacturing. The group’s innovations include luminophores for real-time monitoring of transfection and protein interactions.
Publications:Recent work highlights advancements in AIE-based emitters, photoresponsive nanoparticles, and bioimaging agents. Articles focus on material design, emission tuning, and biomedical applications, reflecting trends in interdisciplinary material science and precision medicine.
Grants & Labs:Equipped with advanced instrumentation (e.g., emission lifetime spectrometers, fluorescence microscopes), the lab supports PhD/Master’s projects and collaborates with industry. Notable instrumentation includes a new FT300 emission lifetime spectrometer (2025).
Labs/Teams:Hosts the Voskuhl Group, collaborating with the Hirschhäuser Group. Current projects include supramolecular ligand design, AIE-driven diagnostics, and functional nanomaterials for biomedical applications.
