We are pleased to announce that the winner of the Pharmaceutics 2022 Young Investigator Award is Dr. Gregor Fuhrmann.
Dr. Gregor Fuhrmann is a Professor at the Department of Biology at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Dr. Fuhrmann’s research expertise lies in the field of new biomaterials and targeted drug delivery. He is interested in extracellular vesicles (EVs), whose role in cellular communication he is investigating in detail, and developing them into therapeutic drug carriers and diagnostics in infection and inflammation. Dr. Fuhrmann received his PhD with distinction from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich in 2013 and has an outstanding publication record, comprising 58 publications in peer-reviewed international journals. His Scopus scientific citations number is 6638 and his Hirsch index is 23; he is clearly a rising star in the field of extracellular vesicles. As a single applicant, Dr. Fuhrmann has secured funding of more than EUR 4.4 million since 2013, including an ERC Starting Grant; this is an outstanding achievement in today’s competitive environment. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Fuhrmann for his outstanding achievements.
As the awardee, Dr. Gregor Fuhrmann will receive an honorarium of CHF 2000, an offer to publish a paper free of charge before 31 December 2023 in Pharmaceutics after peer review, and an electronic certificate.
