We introduced our hydrogen research to Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst. Our working group welcomed Mr. Wüst and his delegation in our joint laboratory in Osaka (Japan). Prof. Happe interactively explained to him key aspects of our research on sustainable hydrogen production by hydrogenases and our green algae research. The enthusiastic delegation surrounding the Prime Minister, which also included Rector Martin Paul of the Ruhr University, traveled back to Germany with new inspirations gained from our "world-class research".
We offer several places for B.Sc. and M.Sc. theses every semester. PhD positions are regularly available through externally funded projects. With your own doctoral scholarship, you can also do your doctorate with us without vacancies. Through our strong (inter-) national network, our students learn specialized methods. As part of many projects, they are given the opportunity to spend time abroad. Our team is very international, so that meetings and discussions take place mainly in English. Thus, we also offer international young scientists an optimal working environment. We are always happy to receive unsolicited applications for S-module positions, theses, or doctoral positions. Please send an e-mail to Prof. Dr. Thomas Happe or PD Dr. Anja Hemschemeier.

Especially in the light of climate change, we need fundamentally new concepts to generate and use environmentally friendly and climate-compatible forms of energy, so-called 'green energy'. The main focus of the Photobiotechnology group is the study and biotechnological application of hydrogen-forming enzymes (hydrogenases) and other redox enzymes, which assume important functions in microbial energy metabolism (we mainly study photosynthetic microorganisms) or which catalyze industrially relevant chemical syntheses.
