Steffen Honrath

Dr. Steffen Honrath is a researcher at ETH Zurich, affiliated with the Department of Drug Formulation and Delivery. His work focuses on optimizing gene delivery systems through nonviral transfection methods and understanding cellular barriers in gene therapy. He collaborates extensively with colleagues like Jean-Christophe Leroux and Michael Burger.

• Research areas: Gene therapy, drug formulation, proteomics, and biomedical engineering
• Active in developing protein-based delivery systems (e.g., TFAMoplex)
• Recent studies compare nonviral vs. viral vectors (e.g., AAV) for transfection efficiency
• Develops microstructured devices for bacterial vesicle isolation

Scientific Awards:

• 2024 Poster Prize at Swiss Pharma Science Day
• 2023 Best Oral Presentation at NanoGVA

His research trends include nonviral gene delivery, intracellular trafficking, and electrochemical isolation techniques. Collaborations span pharmaceutics, biotechnology, and cellular pharmacokinetics.
