Drug Targeting & Delivery

Medicinal Chemistry

• Formulation concepts (pre-formulation, feasibility studies) for agents, therapeutics and vaccines
• Pharmaceutical dosage forms for oral, parenteral and local drug delivery systems

Further Approaches

• Drug coated ballon catheters
• Nano-carriers for improved drug penetration into skin, tumors and inflamed tissue
• Theranostic approaches in pancreatic cancer as well as other indications

In-vivo Imaging

• Imaging agents
• MRI (MR elastography, physio-metabolic imaging with Ultrahigh-Field MR, functional organ imaging)
• X-Ray / µCT (X-Ray based tumor irradiation and immune system depletion; in-vivo soft-tissue imaging; Functional imaging for the use of stents and catheters)
• PET and PET/MR (brain imaging, stem cell labeling)
• Optical and ultrasound imaging, bioluminescence (tumor imaging)
