About

Sarah Zellnitz-Neugebauer, PhD, is a pharmacist by training. During her PhD at Graz University of Technology (Austria) she focused on glass beads as new model carriers in DPIs and gained expertise in particle engineering via surface modification and detailed material characterisation. She currently holds the position of Senior Scientist at Area II Advanced Products and Delivery at the Research Center Pharmaceutical Engineering in Graz (Austria). Her work centres on tailoring DPI formulations via mechanistic understanding of the interplay of material properties, formulation properties, adhesive-cohesive force balance and drug detachment. Recently, she also took up the field of co-processing of API combinations for inhalation therapy.
