Dr. rer. nat. Johanna K. Elter
Since May 2025, I am a new junior group leader in macromolecular chemistry at FU Berlin. I am interested in the synthesis of defined macromolecules that can be tailored to a specific application in biological systems. During my studies and my subsequent career, I had the opportunity to join different labs around Europe and the world and I want to support students to do great science in different places as well! In my free time, I enjoy playing different kinds of sports and being outdoors in general.
