The Macromolecular Therapeutics Team joined the CLINAM 2023 Summit in Basel where Alexander Fuchs, Adrian Hauck and Yannick Pilger presented posters on their latest research in the team.

Moreover, Hannes Keiling und Sven Peters started their research internships in the Macromolecular Therapeutics Group - welcome, Hannes and Sven!

Great days at this year's BPS meeting in Bayreuth full of magnificent science and culture! Many thanks to the organizers for the kind invitation as well as Wiley's Journal of Polymer Science and Macromolecular Materials and Engineering for their support: Congratulations to Alexander Fuchs and Yannick Pilger as well as all other poster awardees!

Moreover, congratulations to Samira Hanke who successfully defended her outstanding bachelor thesis - all the best for your upcoming master courses.

Johannes Kockelmann, Leon Bixenmann and Lutz Nuhn joined the ACS Fall Meeting in San Francisco and presented the latest results of the Macromolecular Therapeutics Group. Moreover, Lutz Nuhn was honored as ACS PMSE Early Stage Investigator 2023.

Lutz Nuhn has been accepted as member of the Bavarian Polymer Institute.

And our collaborative project on "Membrane-Engineering as a tool to control the behavior of mesenchymal stem cells in biofabrication processes" has received additional funding to contribute to the Collaborate Research Center TRR225.

Congratulations to Dr. Christian Czysch: For his outstanding PhD thesis he received the Boehring Ingelheim Award during the Dies Academicus at the JGU Mainz. Great to re-unite again with the Mainz team.

And welcome to Niclas Knoblauch who has started his research internship in the Macromolecular Therapeutics Group!

The Macromolecular Therapeutics Team is very happy to join the BMBF-funded Cluster4Futer "curATime" and contribute to the projects "curAIntervent" and "megATarget". We are very much looking forward to work together with our interdisciplinary partners on these exciting research projects.

Moreover, welcome to Samira Hanke who will work on her bachelor thesis in our team.

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“.
