Our research focus lies at the interface of Chemistry and Biology. We are interested in developing chemical tools and molecular imaging approaches to investigate complex cellular processes via fluorescence microscopy. Using synthetic organic chemistry and protein engineering, the Frei Research Group generates new sensing and perturbation tools which can be paired with advanced fluorescence microscopy such as super-resolution microscopy or fluorescence lifetime imaging.

We strive to build an interdisciplinary, collaborative, and inclusive research environment so we can push the boundaries of Chemical Biology together! Have a closer look at our research areas and open positions.
