We are proud to announce that Antje Potthast has been awarded the prestigious Anselme Payen Award for 2026!

Dr. Potthast is a Full Professor at BOKU University, where she serves as Deputy Director of the Institute of Chemistry of Renewable Resources. She also leads the BOKU Core Facility “Analysis of Lignocellulosics” (ALICE) and is Speaker of the Doctoral School “Advanced Biorefineries: Chemistry & Materials.”

As head of the Biopolymer and Paper Analysis research group, her work focuses on cutting-edge analytical methods for lignocellulosic materials—especially cellulose and lignin. Her research spans from advancing biomaterials science to preserving cultural heritage through innovative analysis of cellulosic objects.

Dr. Potthast has made a lasting impact on the field and her work has deepened our understanding of cellulose and lignin chemistry, developed new analytical approaches for oxidative damage, and enabled better tailoring of biomaterials for real-world applications...

Wood and plant biomass hold one of the most remarkable sustainable resources on Earth: Cellulose — the most abundant natural biopolymer. From paper and textiles to advanced materials, biocomposites, and biomedical applications, cellulose plays a key role in the transition toward a green and circular economy.

This Earth Week, we celebrate not only forests and woods, but also the science that transforms these renewable resources into solutions for a sustainable future.

It's almost time! We have one week until Chemists Celebrate Earth Week (April 19-April 25)🌱!

This year's theme is Into the Woods🌳, and we can't wait to celebrate with you. Whether you are hosting a party, trying out one of our activities or spending time in nature, we want to see it.

Share your event using , we might feature your event at the end of Chemists Celebrate Earth Week.
