Research Focus
Fromm Research Group's research, based on coordination compounds and nanomaterials, covers several aspects. They are interested in the bioinorganic chemistry of silver, silver compounds and nanoparticles. They study their antimicrobial effect with the aim to use silver and its compounds as coatings for implants. In parallel, they investigate resistance mechanisms of bacteria against silver at the molecular level, as well as the biomineralization of silver from bacteria.
