Cluster Molecular Science and Engineering At the Molecular Science and Engineering cluster, we educate young students to become independent scientists and experienced researchers. The cluster consists of seven collaborating research groups, with a central research theme of designing molecules and macromolecules and controlling their interactions. This common strategy finds applications in materials science, biochemistry, health, and in energy conversion and storage. While very diverse in its application areas, the central motif of creating function by molecular design is the overarching theme that brings us together. Join us in pushing the boundaries of molecular science!
