In cooperation with Ann-Christin Pöppler, we published an article detailing the decrease in dissolution with increasing drug loading of polymer micelles on a molecular level.

PD Dr. Tessa Lühmann has been elected as expert of group 6 at the European Pharmacopeia. Group 6 is responsible for Biological and Biotechnological products.

As of November 26, 2019 Valerie Spieler completed her thesis entitled „Bioinspired Drug Delivery of Interleukin-4.“ Congratulations and best wishes for the future!

Marcus Gutmann published a method and protocol paper to detail key principle and step-to-step-procedures of metabolic glycoengineering to produce cell derived matrices and cell surfaces for therapeutic applications. Congrats to Marcus and team for this excellent contribution!

The dissertation of Alexandra Braun was awarded excellent by the Lower Franconian “Gedenkjahrstiftung” for Science and the University of Würzburg.

Slamming this topic, Tobias Miesler participated at the 2nd Science Slam at the 7th Annual Meeting of the House of Pharma in Frankfurt. After public voting by the audience, he was rewarded with the 3rd place, including 1000 € prize money. Congratulations!

Johannes Wiest published an article in ‘Molecular Pharmaceutics’ entitled “Geometrical and structural dynamics of Imatinib within biorelevant colloids." The article details the solubilization of Imatinib in simulated gastrointestinal fluids at the molecular levels. The article provides a blueprint for further studies aiming at improving bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs by effectively deploying the natural micelle dynamics while maximizing bioavailability.

Congratulations to Johannes & team!

The 6th Galenusworkshop was organized from the 6th to 7th of November in the beautiful Neubaukirche in Würzburg. With more than 70 participants, the meeting intended to foster and truly sparked the education of young scientists with 15 lectures in the field of bioresponsive drug delivery systems.

Congratulations to Marcus Gutmann! As of October 25, 2018 Marcus defended his thesis in a vibrant and vivid spirit and exemplified excellence on all fronts! Congratulations again, Marcus!

Congratulations to Alexandra! She defended her thesis entitled “Bioresponsive delivery of anticatabolic and anabolic agents for muscle regeneration using bioinspired strategies” demonstrating strong background knowledge and in depth excellence regarding her research work and adjacent research fields!

Congratulations to Christoph who published another article on CO efficacy together with our partners in Ghent!

Maude Reggane published an article in the European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics entitled "Bioinspired co-crystals of Imatinib providing enhanced kinetic solubility". It is an excellent contribution starting off a bioinspired strategy to improve the pharmaceutical properties of Imatinib. Congratulations to Maude & team!

Congratulations to Cecilia Amstalden! As of June 25, 2018 she successfully defended her thesis entitled „Development of a bacterial responsive antibiotic release system“.
