Wilhelm Huck
In 2010, after more than a decade at the University of Cambridge and promoted to professor of polymer science, Wilhelm Huck returned to the Netherlands to ‘learn a new language’. Having become increasingly intrigued by the complexity of cellular life, he decided to dedicate his research efforts to unravel the mystery of how chemistry creates biology. All too soon, it became clear that life is a rather complex phenomenon, requiring a diverse and highly talented team of collaborators. He feels privileged to be surrounded by a group of clever and motivated young scientists, and to learn new things every day. When not in the lab, he enjoys gardening, baking, good food and wine, and traveling around the world.
