Personal

I'm analytical researcher at the Karl-Franzens University Graz.

My working place is the lab E05 at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Dept. of Pharmaceutical Chemistry (head: Prof. Dr. E. Haslinger).

Have a short look at our lab, which has become my second home!

Projects

My scientific work deals with chiral separations of drug enantiomers. The development of methods for chiral separation has attracted increasing interest in recent years. With racemic drugs, often only one of the enantiomers possesses the desired pharmacological activity (eutomer); the inactive enantiomer (distomer) may show unwanted side effects or even toxic effects. In any case, it represents an unnecessary burden for the organism since it has to be metabolized. To achieve the pharmacological effect, the administration of the double dose is required.

For this purpose, capillary electrophoresis (CE), capillary electrochromatography (CEC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used in our lab.
