As of October 20, 2020 Tobias Miesler completed his PhD with the defense of his thesis entitled

"Development of diagnostic systems targeting the human tongue as a 24/7 available detector." Congratulations!!!

Katharina Dodt published an article in ACS Bioamterials entitled "Mass-encoded reporters reporting proteolytic activity from within the extracellular matrix". It provides an approach allowing the measurement of protease activities from within the extracellular matrix, deploying enzymatic binding of reporters and isobaric mass encoding strategy. Congratulations to Katharina & team!

Björn ter Mors published an article in PharmInd entitled "Comparison of polysorbate 20 qualities". It provides an update for formulators regarding differences (or similarities) of Polysorbate 20 qualities. Congratulations to Björn & team!

Congratulations to Tessa, Valerie and team! They published their exciting drug targeting manuscript on Interleukin 4 in a mouse model system of arthritis in the Journal of Controlled Release.

Congratulations to Marco, Niclas & team! The detailed the antibacterial efficacy of some Anacardic Acid derivatives in their manuscript just coming online with ACS Infections Diseases!

We congratulate Tobias for his publication in ACS Biomaterials resulting from his coop with Dr. Wimschneider and Prof. Brehm from the University of Erlangen! The publication covers unorthodox approaches leading to easy to handle and distribute diagnostics - a feature particularly interesting in our current days! The contribution was selected for "Editor's choice" and is available free of charge on the ACS homepage.

Congratulation to Thomas and Matthias for their publication in ACS Omega detailing easy approaches to handle alginate for bioprinting applications and future biofabrication.

Visualizing biodistribution pattern of PEGylated FGF-2 in vivo - Congratulations to Tessa and Marcus, who published in vivo performances of novel FGF-2 bioconjugates together with partners from the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland.
