O autorze

Nils Metzler-Nolte studied chemistry in Hamburg, Freiburg and Munich, Germany. In 1994 he received his PhD for his work on synthesis, reactivity and electronic structure of alkynylboranes. After his postdoc in the laboratory of professor Green at the University of Oxford, Metzler-Nolte went to the well known Max-Planck-Institute for Bioinorganic Chemistry where he became leader of the group for bio-organometallic chemistry. Since 2000 he is professor for bioinorganic chemistry and medicinal inorganic chemistry and vice dean at the University of Heidelberg. His research is aimed at linking organometallic compounds to amino acids, small peptides and DNA analogs, namely PNAs.
