Acknowledgments



The presented thesis was written at the Department of Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical
Technology and Biopharmaceutics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich
under supervision of Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Frieß.

First of all I would like to take the chance and thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Wolfgang
Frieß for giving me the opportunity to work in his research group. I always felt greatly
supported by you, even when the experimental results were demanding. On a
personal and on a professional level interaction with you was always a pleasure.
Thank you for the possibilities you opened me to increase my scientific knowledge
even with research stays and congress participations abroad.

I would also like to thank Prof. Dr. Gerhard Winter for being co-referee of this thesis.
Furthermore, I had a wonderful time at your chair, with a lot of interesting
discussions, social events and enjoyed the working conditions.

I deeply appreciate Prof. Dr. Peter Westh at Roskilde University for letting me work in
his lab and giving me numerous tips and help with my calorimetric experiments.
Mange Tak! Also thanks to my colleagues at RUC, especially Christina, Sophus,
Søren, Nicolaj and Peter for making the time in Denmark so much fun.
I would like to thank the Dr. August und Dr. Anni Lesmüller-Stiftung for supporting my
research stay at the Roskilde-University.

During my time at Prof. Frieß group I had a lot of interactions with different
researchers. I would like to thank PD Dr. Armin Giese and Prof. Dr. Joachim Rädler
for the help with the FCS experiments, Dr. Lars Allmendinger and Dr. Holger Lerche
for giving analytical advice and performing MS and NMR experiments for me. Dr.
Bernhard Kämpf, Helmut Hartl and Dr. David Stevenson were so kind to perform
analytical experiments for me. Of course Dr. Marco Keller and Markus Gruber did a
great job of synthesizing the trehalose esters. Also my dear colleague at Merck Dirk
Schiroky gave very helpful input into MS interpretation.



Some students were helping me with experiments that are mentioned here. From all
of them I would like to thank Benjamin Waldmann and Marcel Lietz who were the first
students and who I kept contact over the time. Also Monika Alter and Tobias Fister
who convinced me to take one more group of students should be mentioned as they
generated data that explained a lot.

I asked friends to proof-read one part or the other of this work. Dr. Meike Römer, Dr.
Katrin Kinkel, Dr. Cornelius Pompe, Torge Schiefelbein, Dr. Martin Meyer, I really
thank you for the quick responses and the scientific input I got.

I would like to thank my colleagues at pharmaceutical technology for the fun time,
deep discussions and nice cooperation. We had a blast with all the cakes, the
chocolate almonds and burning the calories again at our weekly after-work jog or at
triathlons. A special thanks goes out to Kerstin Höger and Dr. Frank Schaubhut and
of course his wife Susan Schaubhut who have been not only lab mates, but also
became very close friends.

During my time I found and rediscovered some very close friends. Susanne, Julia,
Martin, and Christof have been around me, supported me and cheered me up, when
Munich was too much for me again. During writing my thesis in Darmstadt also
Veronika and Katrin were the best friends I could possibly imagine. I look forward to
the day you swim faster than me in a triathlon.

Most important, I would like to thank my family. Without you I wouldn‟t be who I am
now. Thanks for all you made possible for me, for your encouragement and your
support.
