Almost four years ago, AcademiaNet started in November 2010 with its database of excellent female researchers. Now we have more than 1,600 selected members from all over Europe. In this new brochure, the Robert Bosch Stiftung discusses achievements and future challenges. Download the PDF here!
Paula Booth uses natural and synthetic systems to understand how membrane proteins fold and operate. In her research, she also tackles problems like antibiotic resistance.
