Paula Holban

Paula obtained her Master’s degree in Chemistry of Complex Systems at the University of Strasbourg, France. During her Master she contributed to several research projects ranging from biochemistry to photochemistry. She worked in the group of Prof. Andrey Klymchenko where she was focused on the synthesis and study of fluorescent molecular probes for specific targeting of cellular organelles. Then, she joined the chemical company BASF in Germany and worked in the field of polymer chemistry. She was focused on reversible crosslinking of acrylate-based polymeric protective coatings for a circular economy. During her master’s thesis she joined Dr. Dydio’s research group at the Institute of Supramolecular Science and Engineering (ISIS), Strasbourg, to study photoinduced Cu-mediated decarboxylative thianthrenation of aryl carboxylic acids. Currently she is enrolled in the Dankerslab and involved in the new doctoral network ‘’ReWIRE’’. She will investigate how supramolecular biomaterials are applicable for the regeneration of axons following injury of the spinal cord.Paula obtained her Master’s degree in Chemistry of Complex Systems at the University of Strasbourg, France.
