Biography
Katharina M Fromm is a Coordination Chemist with expertise in the bioinorganic chemistry of silver, nanoparticles and nanocontainers as well as battery nanomaterials. She has been particularly interested in providing protective coatings for metallic and polymer implant materials and collaborated with microbiologists, infectiologists and medical doctors as well as industrial partners. Her concern is not only about antimicrobial activity, but also biocompatibility of nanomaterials and the bacterial resistance mechanisms towards metal ions such as silver.
