Congratulations to Lena Scheller & team. She developed a powder-form microemulsion adsorbed to a metalloorganic framework (MOF). Once the powder reaches the stomach, the MOF disintegrates, releasing the adsorbed molecules that readily form a microemulsion. The concept might be an interesting oral delivery form for poorly water-soluble drugs. A patent is pending, the article has been published in the European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics (EJPB).

Congrats for Martina and Eleonora for the development of an amber triggered azobenzene photo switch for modulation of peptide secondary structure!

On 12 December 2022, Niklas Hauptstein completed his PhD with the defense of his dissertation entitled "Site directed molecular design and performances of Interferon-α2a and Interleukin-4 bioconjugates with PEG alternative polymers". Congratulations!

On 07 December 2022, Jonas Schlauersbach completed his PhD with the defense of his dissertation entitled "Bile-drug-excipient interplay". Congratulations!

Congratulations to Dominic for defending his PhD thesis!

On December 6th, Benedikt, Debora, Eduardo, Kristin, Rafael and Prisca each presented a poster on their research projects at the ChemSyStM 2022 in Würzburg. Prisca was awarded with the prize for the best poster in the field “Food chemistry and Pharmacy”. Many thanks to the JCF Würzburg for organizing this lively event!

Congratulations to Simon & team! They publish a capsule, generating therapeutic gases, carbon monoxide in this case, independent of canned gas!

Christoph Spangardt and team develop prototypes of autoinjectors for drug substances with slow dissolution rates. Congratulations for a manuscript at the interface of pharmaceutics and medical device development!

Congratulations to Eduardo for winning the second poster prize at the

EUREKA 2022 17th International GSLS student symposium in Würzburg!

Jonas & team report on the in vivo impact of bile on drug absorption. Congratulations on this excellent teamwork!

Congratulations to Niklas and team for their article "Polymer selection impacts the pharmaceutical profile of site-specifically conjugated Interferon-α2a" published in Journal of controlled release!

Congratulations to Jonas, Josef, & team! They developed an algorithm predicting bile and lipid interaction of poorly water-soluble drugs! Hopefully, it might complement/precede vastly complex experiments which are currently required along these lines!

Matthias Beudert and team have reviewed the latest developments on soft tissue glues with a focus on fibrin-based systems.

Congratulations to Matthias Beudert and team for their manuscript

"Merging bioresponsive release of insulin-like growth factor I with 3D printable thermogelling hydrogels" published in journal of controlled release.

Four of our PhD students attended the 2022 meeting of the local chapters of the controlled release society (Germany, BeNeLux, France) in Aachen. Our team members contributed to the stimulating conference with three oral talks and one elevator pitch, with Eduardo Merino Asumendi and Simon Hanio being awarded for the conference’s best talk and elevator pitch, respectively. Many thanks to Prof. Lammers and his team for the excellent organization.
