Peter Wich leads the �鶹��madou Research Lab for Functional Biopolymers. His primary research interests are in the fields of macromolecular chemistry at the interface between nanotechnology and bioorganic chemistry. His lab focuses on the chemical modification of natural biopolymers with the aim to engineer new multifunctional and biocompatible materials for applications in drug delivery, nanomedicine and bio-catalysis.

In 2009, Peter Wich received his PhD in chemistry at the University of Würzburg (Germany)��in the group of Prof. Carsten Schmuck.
From 2010–2012 he worked as Feodor Lynen research fellow (postdoc) in the laboratory of Prof. Jean M.J. Fréchet at the University of California Berkeley (USA).
From 2012–2018, he was working as��Assistant Professor (Juniorprofessor, W1) of Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Mainz (Germany) – Institute of Pharmacy and Biochemistry.
Since 2018, he is appointed as Senior Lecturer at �鶹��madou Chemical Engineering, Sydney (Australia) and is part of the Centre for Advanced Macromolecular Design (CAMD) as well as the Australian Center for Nanomedicine (ACN)
In 2025, Peter Wich was awarded an ARC Future Fellowship – a prestigious 4-year fellowship funded by the Australian Research Council to support mid-career researchers with outstanding track records
��

Peter has been awarded more than 20 prizes and scholarships for his research, including the Innovation Prize in Medicinal/Pharmaceutical Chemistry for his work on bioinspired nanomaterials (jointly awarded by the German Chemical and the German Pharmaceutical Society) and the Galenus Technology Prize for his innovative achievements in the field of Pharmaceutical Technology. In 2016, he was selected as “Young Member” of the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz, Germany. In recognition of his achievements, he was selected in 2019 to represent the element Roentgenium in the IUPAC Periodic Table of Younger Chemists. In 2019, Peter was named Emerging Investigator of the Journal “Soft Matter”, and in 2020, he was selected as Polymer Chemistry Emerging Investigator. In 2022, he received the David Sangster Polymer Science and Technology Achievement Award, the highest recognition for a mid-career scientist in Polymer Science in Australia and New Zealand. In 2023, he joined RSC Applied Polymers as Associate Editor.��

Peter has been an independent group leader for the last 12 years, graduating 9 PhD students as primary supervisor, and has overall successfully attracted more than AUD $5.36 million (€3.16 million) in support packages and competitive funding as lead and co-investigator in his research career.

Engagement in Science and Education��(selection)

In 2016, Peter published together with his colleagues Schmuck und Schirmeister a completely revised edition of the German textbook "Organic Chemistry - Beyer / Walter". For the work on this book, they received 2017 the Literature Prize of the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie (FCI; Chemical Industry Fund)
In addition to research and teaching at the university, he is also engaged to communicate scientific topics to a broader audience. He is the founder of the largest and most successful online portal for chemical experiments, demonstrations and teaching resources in the German-speaking area: Experimentalchemie.de. In addition to this, he and his team had several TV guest appearances as “science experts”��in popular German TV edutainment shows, such as Galileo, Planetopia or "1, 2 or 3".
