New Title of the Professorship

University Professor Dr. Robert Magerle was appointed Professor of Chemical Physics and Biophysics effective April 15, 2026.

Over the past ten years, we have focussed our research on the study of biological macromolecular materials, particularly collagen fibrils and connective tissue, as well as on the haptic perception of nanomechanical tissue properties. The new title of the professorship follows Humboldt’s ideal of the unity of research and teaching and highlights our professional expertise. It also strengthens the life sciences at Chemnitz University of Technology.
