Welcome to the Department of Chemistry located in the University of Fribourg, Switzerland’s only bilingual university, offering a full academic curriculum both in French and German. A number of Master programmes are taught in English and the University offers a wide range of opportunities for PhD (and doctoral) studies as well as international Exchange and Summer School Programmes. Established in 1896, we pride ourselves on offering our students an excellent education, and strive to provide an inspiring environment to encourage and enable the best science. With ten research groups our department focuses on Analytical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Polymer and Material Chemistry. We put interdisciplinary research at the centre of our endeavours and continue to further develop our international focus.

Another recent publication from Ruggi Research Group! They published a new article in the journal ChemSusChem, titled; “A Cyanide-Bridged Ru–Fe Supramolecular Photocatalyst for Efficient CO2 Reduction".

The study explores a Ru–Fe supramolecular photocatalyst designed to efficiently convert CO₂ using light, contributing to ongoing research into sustainable approaches for CO₂ valorisation and solar-driven chemistry.

Congratulations to Dr. Albert Ruggi to all collaborators on this work!

Congratulations to Pascal Bertsch, on receiving a prestigious €1.5 million European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant!

His project, GI-CORONA, will investigate the interfacial dynamics of lipids in the gastrointestinal tract, aiming to provide new insights into lipid digestion and oral drug delivery.

The project will be hosted by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Fribourg, in collaboration with the Food Research and Innovation Center (FRIC).

This major grant marks an important milestone for Pascal Bertsch and will further strengthen FRIC’s position as a leading center for food-related research.

A collaborative effort between the Zobi and Lattuada Research Groups!

They recently published a new article in the journal ACS Omega, titled; “Unlabeled but Not Unseen: Cytotoxicity Classification of Re(I) Tricarbonyl Complexes via K-Means Clustering“.

This work demonstrates how unsupervised machine learning can classify the cytotoxicity of rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes without prior toxicity labels. Their K-means clustering approach provides a transparent and efficient framework for early-stage toxicity assessment in metal-based drug discovery.

Congratulations to Ms. Miroslava Nedyalkova, Ms. Gozde Demirci, Mr. Youri Cortat, Lilai Abraha, Dr. Aurélien Crochet, and Prof. Lattuada Marco and Prof. Dr. Fabio Zobi.
