The professorship of electrobiotechnology at the Straubing Campus for Biotechnology and Sustainability at the Technical University of Munich was newly established in 2020 under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Nicolas Plumeré. Our research ranges from the development of fast and accurate electrochemical sensors to sustainable electrosynthesis to photovoltaics and power-to-fuel systems based on naturally occurring proteins. 

In this context, there is a special focus on the durability and longevity of the fragile biological components, which is a key obstacle in the large-scale application for these sustainable and extraordinarily energy-saving systems. These goals can only be achieved by a broad spectrum of researchers from different disciplines. Through this interdisciplinary team, we would like to accompany the development from the first steps in the basics of protein kinetics to the improvement of prototypes supported by computer simulation.
