Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGBHead of Straubing Site
In 2020, Dr. Steffen Roth joined the innovation field of Bioinspired Chemistry at Fraunhofer IGB, Straubing branch. After his studies in applied chemistry, he completed his dissertation at Fraunhofer IGB in cooperation with the TU Munich (Chair of Prof. V. Sieber) between 2015 and 2020 as a doctoral scholarship holder of the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU). Starting in 2021, he led research activities in the field of bioorganic chemistry, with a particular interest in the interface between chemistry and biology. By combining both disciplines, he investigated chemo-enzymatic approaches as sustainable solutions for syntheses as well as novel materials.
On November 1, 2026, Roth took over as head of the Straubing site.
