Christof Fattinger

Dr. Christof Fattinger, invented the principle of Focal Molography and developed its theoretical foundations. From 2014 to 2020, Dr. Fattinger led the development of Focal Molography in collaboration with Prof. Janos Vörös, ETH Zürich, and several docs and postdocs in his group.

CF studied physics at ETH Zürich and received a postdoctoral fellowship from IBM, T.J.Watson Research Center, NY. His work at IBM, in collaboration Daniel R. Grischkowsky, led to an optoelectronic technique for generating diffraction-limited beams of terahertz electromagnetic pulses. He co-authored the most cited scientific article in the field of terahertz spectroscopy.

From 1989 – 2019 Dr. Christof Fattinger was working in pharmaceutical industry at the Roche Innovation Center in Basel. In 2010, CF was awarded the status of Distinguished Scientist, the highest accolade for a Roche researcher. CF brings extraordinary scientific/technical merits to the discovery and realization of new methods for the analysis and study of biomolecular interactions.

Dr. Christof Fattinger is a Member of the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences SATW.
