Destructive interactions of free radicals, especially of free oxygen radicals (FOR’s) with bonded molecules and materials are studied to get more insight into the specificity of these interactions. The innovative idea behind this project is to exploit electrochemical approaches to study free radical reactions in detail. A second important new idea is to use these systems for the study of antioxidants. A third novel application will be the detection of FOR‘s in biological material. The final goal will be to develop the means to detect FOR‘s in living systems for in-vivo monitoring.
The Graduate School is based on an international cooperation between scientists from Brazil, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, and Switzerland. In total, 9 PhD students are educated in 6 different institutions.
