• Chemist Ekaterina Skorb On International Work Experience And Prospects Of Infochemistry

  In the course of her scientific career, Ekaterina Skorb has worked in four different countries. After receiving her education in Minsk, she continued  with  her research at Max Planck Institute in Germany where she led a research team and developed smart biomaterials. At Harvard, she worked in the team of George Whitesides, the world’s most cited chemist, on several fundamental projects, including the Origins of Life. As of now, Ekaterina Skorb is a professor at ITMO University, leading a research team in its Biochemistry Cluster. Among its key projects are creating dynamic optical materials, biochips that would allow to diagnose a wide range of diseases, and fundamental research in the field of storing information with the help of chemical systems. In an interview for ITMO.NEWS, she talked about her work in the world’s major universities and moving to Russia, key research areas, and combining chemistry with IT.
