The new “Hamburg Advanced Research Centre for Bioorganic Chemistry” (HARBOR) on Campus Bahrenfeld will provide the MIN Faculty (Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences) at Universität Hamburg with infrastructure for ultrashort time resolved experiments on molecular biological systems. The aim is to develop methods for directly exciting and controlling processes in molecules by using light, in order to make such processes visible.
