The doctoral candidates of NanoGraz started the year by visiting the Pharmaceutical Technology group of Andreas Zimmer. They were introduced to the basics of what pharmaceutical technology and nanotechnology is about and then got to experience what lab work in this field is like.
One group learned about the methods of Dynamic Light Scattering, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, and Rheometry with which pharmaceutical systems are characterized. The other group took part in the manufacturing of tablets and suppositories and even got to bring their self-made suppositories with them home.
We hope that everyone had a nice time and that it will strengthen our collaboration in the future.
A special thank goes out to Bianca Seidl, Gabriele Kolany, Katharina Puskac, and Martin Reiser for giving the tours.
