معرفی
Prof. Dr. Claus-Michael Lehr is a faculty member at Saarland University, affiliated with the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology and the Department of Pharmaceutical Science. He holds the Professorship for Biopharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology and leads a research group at the Helmholtz-Institut für Pharmazeutische Forschung Saarland (HIPS) in Saarbrücken, Germany.
His research focuses on biological barriers and advanced drug delivery systems. Key areas include the use of epithelial cell cultures from the intestine, lung, skin, and eye to model drug absorption and barrier function. His team investigates transport mechanisms of active substances across these barriers and develops modern delivery vehicles such as nanoparticles and liposomes, with applications in pulmonary delivery, targeted intestinal therapy, and non-viral gene transfer.
The research also emphasizes predicting drug absorption, assessing biocompatibility, understanding clearance processes, and advancing in vitro models to replace animal experiments. This work contributes significantly to optimizing drug formulations for improved efficacy and safety.
The absence of recent publications in the provided text limits trend analysis, but the focus areas suggest strong interdisciplinary work at the intersection of pharmaceutics, nanotechnology, and cellular physiology.
- Scientific Awards: No awards mentioned in the provided text.
Prof. Lehr leads an active research group at HIPS, where he supervises scientific projects and likely mentors graduate students, though no specific advisees are listed. There is no mention of external grants, but his affiliation with Helmholtz suggests involvement in nationally funded research programs. His work contributes to translational pharmaceutical research with a strong ethical emphasis on reducing animal experimentation.
The research group operates within the Helmholtz-Institut für Pharmazeutische Forschung Saarland (HIPS), specifically in the Department of Drug Delivery (Abteilung Wirkstofftransport), located on the Saarland University campus. This collaborative environment integrates academic and applied pharmaceutical research, leveraging institutional partnerships for innovation in drug development.
