Roland K. O. Sigel studied Chemistry at the University of Basel, followed by a PhD at the University of Dortmund, Germany, and a postdoc at Columbia University, USA. He joined the University of Zurich, Switzerland, in 2003 as Assistant Professor, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2010. He is now a Full Professor of Chemistry and Dean of the Faculty of Science since 2017, serving his second full term. He received numerous awards including an SNF-Förderungsprofessur, the EuroBIC Medal, the SCS Alfred Werner Prize, and an ERC Starting Grant. He was co-chair of EuroBIC-12 (Zurich/CH), ICBIC-19 (Interlaken/CH), and the Swiss representative of the EuChems Division of Chemistry for Life Sciences. He served as elected Secretary of the Society of Biological Inorganic Chemistry and is currently the Secretary of the ICBIC conference series. His research deals with the influence of metal ions on structure and dynamics of large nucleic acids, applying an interdisciplinary approach including (bio)chemical methods, single molecule and NMR spectroscopy. Roland has published more than 130 papers and book chapters and is co-editing the series Metal Ions in Life Sciences.
