Center of Pharmaceutical Engineering (PVZ)

The PVZ was founded on May 11, 2012 by scientists from institutes of pharmacy, process engineering and micro- and production technology of TU Braunschweig. The mission of this interdisciplinary research center is to collaborate across disciplines for the development of active, cost-efficient, and personalized therapeutics. The new buildung of the center at Franz-Liszt-Straße was officially opened with a ceremony on March 07, 2017. Please find more information on the official website of the PVZ.
