Brief History of the Institute of Biochemistry The Institute of Biochemistry and Food Chemistry was born out of the division of the Institute of Biochemical Technology, Food Chemistry and Microchemistry of the former School of Technology Graz. Together with all the other chemistry institutes, it was located in the old Chemistry Building on Baron Mandell's ground, corner Technikerstrasse-Mandellstrasse. 1929 The Institute of Technical Biochemistry and Microbiology moved to the building of the Fürstlich-Dietrichstein-Stiftung, Schlögelgasse 9, in which all the biosciences were then concentrated. 1945 G. GORBACH - initially in the rank of a docent and soon thereafter as a.o. Professor - took over to lead the institute. The institute was renamed Institute of Biochemical Technology and Food Chemistry. 1948 G. GORBACH was nominated full professor and head of the institute. In succession of the famous Graz School of Microchemistry founded by Prof. F. PREGL and Prof. F. EMICH, Prof. GORBACH was one of the most prominent and active leaders in the fields of microchemistry, microbiology and nutritional sciences. After World War II, questions of water quality and waste water disposal became urgent; hence, the group of Prof. K. STUNDL, which at that time was part of the institute, was gaining importance. In addition, a division to fight dry-rot supervised by Dr. KUNZE and after his demise by H. SALOMON, was also affiliated with the institute. 1955 In honour of the founder of microchemistry and former professor at the Graz University of Technology, the extended laboratory was called EMICH-Laboratories. At the same time, the institute was renamed Institute of Biochemical Technology, Food Chemistry and Microchemistry. Lectures and laboratory courses were held in biochemistry, biochemical technology, food chemistry and food technology, technical microscopy and microchemistry. In addition, the institute covered technical microbiology together with biological and bacteriological analysis - with the exception of pathogenic microorganisms - and a lecture in organic raw materials sciences. 1970 After the decease of Prof. GORBACH, Prof. GRUBITSCH was appointed head of the institute. Towards the end of the sixties, the division for water and waste water disposal headed by Prof. STUNDL was drawn out of the institute and established as an independent institute. Prof. SPITZY was nominated professor of general chemistry, micro- and radiochemistry. This division was also drawn out of the mother institute and at the end of the sixties moved to a new building. 1973 Division of the Institute for Biochemical Technology, Food Technology and Microchemistry took place. At first, biochemical technology together with food technology formed a new institute now called Institute of Biotechnology and Food Chemistry headed by Prof. LAFFERTY. 1973 Dr. F. PALTAUF, docent at the Karl-Franzens-University Graz, was appointed professor and head of the newly established Institute of Biochemistry. The interest of Prof. PALTAUF in studying biological membranes and lipids laid the foundation for the future direction of research. G. DAUM, S. D. KOHLWEIN, and A. HERMETTER 3
