Title：New pharmapolymers and nanoparticles for applications innanomedicine
Abstract：Pharmapolymers feature a great potential for the delivery of various active
pharmaceutical ingredients (API). An optimum carrier material should be non-toxic,
bind and protect its cargo from degradation, be invisible to the immune system anddirect the API to its desired place of action, where it should release the cargo without
reducing its effectiveness. Here, a modular approach is described to decouple thevarious requirements from each other: One section is to bind the API, a second partis to reduce toxicity and shield from recognition by the immune system, and an
attached “director” is to navigate the carrier to a specific target. However, necessary
approvals make it difficult to translate current polymer research into products relevantto the pharmaindustry, and optimum combinations cannot be realized sticking to onepolymer

type.

The

lectureprovidesanoverview

about

how

traditional

pharmapolymers such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) or linear
poly(ethylene imine) (l-PEI) can be modified, coupled to relevant building blocks, orbe replaced by more tailor-made alternatives such as, e.g. poly(2-oxazoline)s.

Ulrich S. Schubert was born in Tübingen (Germany) in 1969. He studied chemistry
in Frankfurt and Bayreuth (both Germany) and at the Virginia Commonwealth
University, Richmond (USA). His PhD studies were performed at the Universities
of Bayreuth and South Florida. After a postdoctoral training with J.-M. Lehn at theUniversity of Strasbourg (France), he moved to the TU Munich (Germany) andobtained his Habilitation in 1999. During 1999-2000 he was Professor at theUniversity of Munich, and during 2000-2007 Full-Professor at the TU Eindhoven(the Netherlands). Since 2007, he is a Full-Professor at the Friedrich SchillerUniversity Jena, Germany.
