DoSChem students receive many prizes in the first Chemistry@UNIVIE Photo Competition 2022

19.12.2022

In the first Faculty of Chemistry initiated "Chemistry@UNIVIE Photo Competition" (collaborating with the Directorates of Studies (SPL 27 & SPL 53), DoSChem - Vienna Doctoral School in Chemistry and the student representation STV) several DoSChem students win in different categories.

40 images were submitted for two different categories Zooming into research and 360 degrees Chemistry.

Listed below you find all DoSChem student awardees. For all winner pictures please click here.

Category Zooming into research - 1st place: Window into another world. This photo depicts a view into the electrospray ion source of a mass spectrometer. Mass spectrometry enables the qualitative and quantitative analysis of thousands of different molecules, allowing us to take a closer look into this world of molecules making up the fabric of life. A small amount of blood or tissue is not only sufficient to investigate disease and aid the development of new pharmaceuticals, making mass spectrometry an indispensable tool in biomedical research, it can also provide insights into the exposure to environmental chemicals of an individual, the so-called exposome. At the faculty of Chemistry at the University of Vienna we use mass spectrometry-based technologies with the greater goal to bring the vision of a comprehensive investigation of the chemical environmental exposure closer to reality.
