Subsequently, I joined Giebel Laboratory at University Hospital Essen – Institute for Transfusion Medicine as a postdoctoral researcher. My research focuses on pulmonary drug delivery (PDD), dry powder inhalers (DPIs), and lyophilization and spray drying of nanoparticles (mainly liposomes), as well as bioengineering and development of extracellular vesicles (EVs) (exosomes or microvesicles) as inhalable active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Ongoing projects focus on the development of EV-based vaccine and intracellular protein delivery platforms. Experienced in planning and managing innovative research projects with comprehensive expertise in various research methods and techniques. Experienced in applying for research grants.
