Institute

Welcome to the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials (IMSEAM) at Heidelberg University. The IMSEAM was founded in 2022 by merging the Institut for Molecular Systems Engineering and the Center for Advanced Materials. The mission of the IMSEAM is to create new materials, methods and technologies from synthetic and natural building blocks at the molecular level, considering complete systems from molecule to function. Four research groups and two junior research groups are currently working at IMSEAM on basic principles and applications for materials development, organic electronics, environmental technology and medicine. IMSEAM also offers core facilities in the field of device fabrication and characterization (IMSEAM core Facility), soft (bio) materials characterization and microfluidics for other university groups.
