Dr Larissa von Krbek

Bewerbungsfoto02-klein.png

Larissa von Krbek received a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from the Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, in 2010, having completed a Bachelor thesis in the group of Prof. Dr. Hans-Ulrich Reißig on carbohydrate-mimetics synthesis. In 2012, she obtained her Master’s degree, working on multivalent supramolecular complexes under supervision of Prof. Dr. Christoph A. Schalley at the Freie Universität Berlin. She was awarded a fellowship of the German Academic Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes) to continue her work as a PhD student on the thermodynamic analysis of multivalent crown-ether/ammonium systems in the group of Prof. Dr. Christoph A. Schalley. During her PhD studies, Larissa enjoyed a pre-doctoral stay in the laboratories of Jonathan Nitschke, where she explored the subcomponent self-assembly of crown-ether capped metalorganic cages. In November 2016, she obtained a Dr. rer. nat. in chemistry.
She joined the group of Jonathan Nitschke as a postdoctoral research fellow in January 2017, where she is now working on stimuli responsive metal-organic cages and combining cages with classical supramolecular crown-ether/ammonium motives.

In April 2017, Larissa was awarded a postdoctoral affiliation at Christ's College Cambridge and in July 2017, a Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
