On the track of evolution: Our discovery of the first methyltransferase ribozyme - a catalytically active RNA that specifically attaches methyl groups to other RNAs - was recently published in "Nature".

RSC Chemical Biology was launched in 2020 and is dedicated to publishing and disseminating the most exceptionally significant, breakthrough research at the interface of chemistry and biology.

Dr. Christian Steinmetzger and Dr. Mohammad (Farbod) Ghaem Maghami

We wish them both a successful future!

On July 10, 2020 we celebrated our two excellent graduates Christian and Farbod and the 3rd anniversary of our group joining the Institute of Organic Chemistry in Würzburg. It was a great evening hike to the Castle of Würzburg.
