Hanna Krupke attended the MaP Symposium 2025 and gave an insightful talk about her research on transbuccal peptide delivery using a biodegradable suction patch.

Credits to André Sandmann (Pikka) for the nice sketch!

Today the Institute of pharmaceutical science at ETH hosted the summer BBQ and the Leroux Group could enjoy nice food and drinks together. 

Many thanks for the organisation and the great dishes!

Prof. Jean-Christophe Leroux received the CSPS (Canadian Scociety for Pharmaceutical Sciences) Lifetime Achievement Award. 

Huge congratulations for this achievement!

David Scherer and Alexander Klipp successfully defended their PhD theses!

David focused on the production and characterization of endogenous receptor ligands for gene delivery and Alex on the engineering and discovery of phospholipases for endosomal escape. 

Congratulations for your fantastic work and all the best for you future!

Since 2012 the ETH invites students and teachers to the Day of open Laboratories and this year the Leroux group was representative for the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science. 

Together, we made colorful suppositories and also created glowing tablets using 3D printing technology. It was a fun and inspiring experience for everyone involved! 

Huge congratulations to our new PhDs!

Steffen Honrath defended his thesis with the title “Improvement and characterization of a DNA transfection agent based on mitochondrial transcription factor A” and Yulia Yuts with “Biodegradable oral devices and permeation enhancers for oral delivery of macromolecules.

We wish you all the best for your future!

The majority of the Leroux Group was part of the legendary SOLA Stafette, a run around Zürich with total 113km and 2600hm.

Well done everyone!

First award in 2025 for the Leroux Group for enzyme permeation enhancers!
