New CRC at the University of Bayreuth

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a new Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) at the University of Bayreuth. The interdisciplinary research of nanostructured functional materials is expected to revolutionise the performance of batteries, solar cells, fuel cells and photocatalysts, thereby opening new perspectives for a sustainable energy economy. The starting point for material-based innovations is a holistic view of the transport of electrons, ions, molecules and heat, and their interactions in the materials. The new CRC 1585 “MultiTrans” will receive a total of around 11 million euros from the DFG over the next four years.

Polymer excipients for the pharmaceutical industry

NGP Polymers develops novel pharmaceutical polymers for improved drug formulations.

Active ingredients can do their job particularly well if they get to the right place in the body at the right time. To ensure this, the active ingredients are formulated with excipients to form highly efficient drugs. However, the selection of available polymeric excipients is limited. To expand this spectrum, Next Generation Pharma Polymers (NGP Polymers for short) develops, produces and markets novel polymer excipients for various applications in the pharmaceutical industry. Ulrich S. Schubert, co-founder of the Jena start-up, explains the background and goals of the company.
