Students‘ achievements
Bettina Grotz, MSc, received the AK Wissenschaftspreis 2017 for her master thesis „Time-resolved uptake of protein – nanoparticle conjugates in lung epithelial A549 and macrophage-like THP-1 cells“ in the category „Future – natural sciences and technology“. 
Currently, Bettina develops applications for „Laser PCR“ at GNA Biosolutions GmbH ( www.gna-bio.com) in Martinsried close to Munich. This technology enables ultrashort (1,000,000x faster) temperature ramps, and therefore DNA detection within 10 min.
