Welcome to the Tietze Lab

Dr. Alesia A. Tietze, Assosiate Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Medicinal Chemistry with focus on total synthesis of bioactive peptides, i.e. cysteine-rich peptides, which are derived from biologically-active  natural sources (i.e. cone snails, spiders, snakes), their targets (membrane proteins) and their structural analogues as well as engineering of bioispired materiales based on functional peptides/proteins and artificial carriers (i.e.      nanopores, polymers).

We are located at the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden and are part of the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular and Translational Medicine

02/2017  Andreas was a selected participant at the Winter School on Ionic Liquids (within COST CM1206) on February 7 – 10, 2017 in Porto, Portugal. The main goal of this school was to deliver a cross-disciplinary learning approach and condensed overview in the field of ionic liquids with emphasis on State of the Art, R&D methodologies, functionalities and applications. The lectures were problem-solving oriented emphasizing case studies of relevance to properties, characteristics of the ionic liquids and are specially geared towards novice scientists in the ILs field.
