Claudia Lotter

• Led a targeted hybrid LNP project for cell-specific gene delivery, translating PhD expertise into a focused follow-up research project. • Developed reproducible preparation and characterization workflows for hybrid nanoparticle formulations. • Integrated physicochemical and biological readouts to guide formulation selection and experimental decisions. • Mentored graduate students in experimental planning, data analysis, documentation and scientific reasoning.

• Designed and optimized LNP formulations for DNA and RNA delivery, including ionizable lipid systems, surface modification and ligand-mediated targeting approaches. • Characterized formulations by DLS, NTA and SEC to assess particle size, particle concentration, colloidal properties and formulation performance. • Supervised 2 MSc thesis students and taught practical courses in semi-solid dosage forms for approx. 45 pharmacy students per semester.

• Thesis: “Bioengineered lipid nanoparticles for enhanced gene therapy” • Prepared scientific reports, figures, and manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals. • Organized and led practical courses for BSc students and supervised two MSc students in independent research projects. • Received training in project management and scientific writing, strengthening research leadership skills.
