Meet the Team
Welcome to the Reisenbauer lab! We are actively building a dynamic and collaborative team to drive cutting-edge research at ISTA.
Julia C. Reisenbauer
Julia C. Reisenbauer studied Chemistry at ETH Zurich (2014–2019), where she completed both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. She carried out her PhD in the Morandi group at ETH Zurich, supported by an ETH Zurich Research Fellowship (SSCI Fellowship). Her doctoral work was recognized with the ETH Medal and the Prix Schläfli Award in Chemistry (2024).
She then joined the Arnold group at the California Institute of Technology as a SNSF Postdoc Mobility Fellow, where she explored new directions in enzyme engineering and biocatalysis.
​
In February 2026, Julia will start her independent research group as an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). Her lab will focus on biocatalysis and enzyme engineering to enable sustainable synthetic chemistry and tackle pressing environmental challenges.
