Biography  Dr Irene Regeni

Irene Regeni is a junior team leader at the Institute of Supramolecular Science and Engineering (ISIS) at the University of Strasbourg. She studied chemistry at the University of Trieste (Italy) and obtained her master degree with Prof. Iengo on a joint project with Prof. Severin (EPFL, Lausanne). She completed her PhD at TU Dortmund in the group of Prof. Guido Clever, supported by a Kekulé Fellowship and recognized with an IUPAC-Solvay Honorable Mention for the best PhD theses. The general focus of her PhD research was to implement the functionalities of commonly-known organic dyes into self-assembled Pd(II)-coordination cages to develop 3D nanoobjects interacting with visible light. In 2022, she joined Prof. Bonnet’s group at Leiden University as a postdoctoral researcher, securing both a DFG Walter Benjamin Fellowship and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship to develop Ru(II)-polypyridyl peptide bioconjugates for photoactivated chemotherapy. In 2025, she started her independent career at ISIS. Her group designs and synthesizes biocompatible supramolecular architectures for targeted drug delivery, de novo artificial enzymes, and sustainable catalysis, while exploring new topological spaces and anisotropic nano-architectures.
