The Macromolecular Therapeutics Group is deeply saddened by the loss of Helmut Ringsdorf (1929-2023). He was a great mentor, idol and inspirer for the whole team.

Lutz Nuhn was invited to the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Vienna and gave a talk about the latest results of the Macromolecular Therapeutics Group.

We gratefully welcome Jolana Both in the team for her PhD - best or luck for all your upcoming experiments.

And finally, congratulations to Jannis Willig and Fabian Schnick who both successfully defended their bachelor theses. All the best for your upcoming master courses.

The Macromolecular Therapeutics Team joined the Controlled Release Society German Chapter Meeting in Würzburg: Lutz Nuhn gave a talk about the group's work on macromolecular immunotherapeutics. Yannick Pilger, Alexander Fuchs, Adrian Hauck, Leon Bixenmann and Johannes Kockelmann presented posters on their research projects and Leon Bixenmann won the best poster award during the meeting - congratulations.

Moreover, we welcome Katharina Eigen and Jan Imschweiler back in the team for the PhD theses - best of luck for your exciting research projects.

Lutz Nuhn visited the Gymnasium Veitshöchheim and introduced the students into the world of Macromolecular Therapeutics.

Finally, the topping out ceremony for the new Center of Polymers for Life (CPL) took place and the whole team is now very much looking forward to soon moving into our new labs.

The Macromolecular Therapeutics Team joined the Macromolecular Colloquium in Freiburg where Adrian Hauck presented a poster on his latest research in the team.

The year ends with further good news:

Congratulations to Judith for defending her fantastic PhD thesis on “Multifunctional Nanogels for Cancer Immunotherapy”!

Adrian won a poster award during the ChemSyStM Meeting at JMU Würzburg organized by the JCF Würzburg.

And Alex got accepted into the Kekulé scholarship program of the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie! Congratulations to all!

We wish you all Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year.

We have another PhD in the group: Congratulations to Max! He succesffuly defended his outstanding thesis on “Macromolecular Strategies for Self-Immolative Immunodrug Delivery”.

Moerover, we are very glad to have him back on board: The Macromolecular Therapeutics Team kindly welcomes Yannick Pilger for his PhD thesis!

And Lutz Nuhn presented the work of the Macromolecular Therapeutics group at the Wiley Online Symposium “Polymers in Therapeutic Applications” and at the 8th Sino-German Frontiers of Chemistry Symposium in Mainz.

The Macromolecular Therapeutics Group is celebrating the retirement symposium of Rudolf Zentel and the release of a Special Issue in Macromolecular Rapid Communications: “A Tripute to Rudolf Zentel“.

Horray, we have another PhD in the group: Congratulations to Christian for his fantastic pioneer work on polycarbonates. He successfully defended his thesis entitled “Functional Polycarbonate Polymers for Drug Delivery” - well done, Christian!

Moreover, Yannick successfully handed in his outstanding master thesis - congratulations, Yannick!

And the Macromolecular Therapeutics Team joined the International School of Nanomedicine in Erice (Sicily), Italia: “Advanced Nano- and Micro-structured materials for medical applications” . Alina Heck, Patric Komforth and Lutz Nuhn presented the group’s latest results on macromolecular immunotherapeutics.

We have the first PhD in the group: Congratulations to Anne who successfully defended her thesis about “Squaric Ester-Based Nanogels as Drug Delivery Systems for Immunotherapy”.

Moreover, Milena Hesse successfully handed in her impressive master thesis - congratulations!

And welcome back in the lab, Alexander Fuchs! After his semester abroad the Macromolecular Therapeutics Team is glad to have you back! Have a great start with Lutz in Würzburg and best of luck for your PhD thesis!
