Congratulations to Johannes Wiest & team. They outlined an approach to make photo-unresponsive drug substances (unresponsive in terms of their physical-chemical properties) photo responsive by ion-pairing these to photo-switchable counterions. Apparent solubility, dissolution rates, and supramolecular structures of the drug substances became controlled by light!

Alexander Gamboa (University of Santiago de Chile) and Nina Schüßler published teir review article “Delivery of ionizable hydrophilic drugs based on pharmaceutical formulation of ion pairs and ionic liquids”! Congratulations to Nina and team!

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.

A group of five doctoral students and Professor Meinel attended the annual meeting of the German local chapter of the Controlled Release Society in Munich.

A chewing gum that warns of inflammation in the oral cavity: Scientists at the University of Würzburg have been focusing on this clever idea for a long time.

News regarding the effect of carbon monoxide on neuroprotection following cardiac arrest and extracorporeal resuscitation! Congratulations to Jakob and team for a superb study outlining the potential of CO in the American Journal of Physiology!”

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.
