“Dextran-based therapeutic nanoparticles for hepatic drug delivery” were developed in a fruitful cooperation with the University Medical Center in Mainz

Congrats Lydia and Matthias on your paper in MedChemCom! “Methods of Protein Surface PEGylation under Structure Preservation for the Emulsion-based Formation of Stable Nanoparticles”

For this years summer group outing we parodied Germany´s favorite sport and played a round of “Fussball-Golf”. Apart from some exceptions, we all realized that soccer is definitly not our biggest strength (neither golf). But we definitly had our fun! (more pictures after the click)

Wwe celebrated the first successful PhD graduation in our group. Congratulations Dr. Bamberger! All the best for your future endeavours!

Great work Matthias and Lydia, congrats!! The paper describes a new, versatile method for the preparation of protein-based nanoparticles for the delivery of therapeutics.

Marie joins our team for her Master thesis – She will develop polysaccharide-based polymers for the formation of dynamic nanomaterials.
Welcome and good luck with your experiments!

The “Junge Akademie” was newly established in May 2016 and consists of selected young scientists from various fields (literature, music and natural sciences). The Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur | Mainz is part of the National Union of German Academies of Sciences and Humanities and represents the biggest of the 8 national academies with members from all over Germany

Elena and Matthias are joining our Team – Good luck with your experiments!
