Precision Polymers for Pharmaceutics

Independent Research Group

Joint research group with the University of Tübingen

Welcome to our research group!

Field of Research

Our group "Precision Polymers for Pharmaceutics" is located at the interface of polymer chemistry and nanomedicine. We are focusing on the design of innovative drug delivery systems using sustainable and innovative materials. These systems are based on intelligent, bio-based or biodegradable polymers that are synthesized using sophisticated polymerization techniques. These techniques include radical systems and metal-organic based catalysts. We develop tailor-made and advanced catalysts and monomers to meet the special needs for each specific drug delivery application.

Our research topics include:

  • Living-type polymerizations
  • Blockcopolymerizations
  • Catalyst and Initiator design
  • Post-polymerization functionalization
  • Polymer analysis
  • Drug and nucleic acid encapsulation
  • Formulation development
  • In vitro evaluation of nanoparticles

We are a Joint Research Group with the Schnichels Lab at the Eye Hospital Tübingen/University of Tübingen.
