March 2026 - Zsigmondy Colloquium

Our team participated in the Zsigmondy Colloquium 2026 in Erlangen under the theme "Characterisation Tools for Particle Systems and Their Functional Assemblies", organized by Prof. Nicolas Vogel (FAU Erlangen). Richard Ziegler delivered a talk on "Design of Peptide Nanocapsules for Biomedical Applications", while Catherina Zambelli presented her research in a poster session. The colloquium continues to support young scientists across academia, research institutions, and industry. more

March 2026 - German Conference on Synthetic Biology

Gabrielle Ong and Florian Deussen represented our group at the German Conference on Synthetic Biology in Münster (March 11–13). Gabrielle presented her poster on “Designing Permeable Artificial Cells for Tumor Microenvironment Modulation”, while Florian delivered a Flash Talk on “Paracrine-like Communication in Polymer-based Artificial Cells via Aptamer Biosensors for Theophylline”. Great science, great presence! more

March 2026 - Defense time!

We are proud to announce that Carina Jung has successfully completed her doctoral dissertation with distinction. Her research, titled "Surface Functionalization of Nanocarriers for Biomedical Applications", represents a significant contribution to the field of nanomedicine and cancer immunotherapy. Carina’s work focuses on the development of advanced protein nanocapsules as next-generation nanovaccines. By precisely tuning the surface chemistry of these nanocarriers — through control of synthesis parameters and innovative functionalization strategies — she has demonstrated a powerful approach to enhance targeted delivery to dendritic cells, the key orchestrators of anti-tumor immune responses. more
