Another memory from my Inaugural Lecture! 🎓 What a genuinely energizing day. Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome. It means the world. Now, for the mandatory post-lecture ritual: practicing Dutch with KU Leuven Trivial Pursuit. #TheWackerLab #KULeuven #DDD

Everything transforms! Nanomedicines are not static objects. My recent NanoSphere interview discusses how understanding this constant physical flux is key to biopharmaceutics. Read more at https://t.co/9kH7pZOW1S. #TheWackerLab #biopharmaceutics #nanomedicine #KULeuven

What a fun inaugural lecture! 15 years of science with my brilliant students & postdocs. One thing became clear: from implants to gene delivery, everything transforms. And dissolution science still fills gaps cell assays can't. Stay curious! #TheWackerLab #DDD #KULeuven

Big congrats to Namrata to her paper being accepted by #IntJPharm! How important is the diffusion boundary layer for liposomal release in the real world? This work points at a new mechanism affecting release. Looking forward to share the work once it's available online!

Labour Day = a reminder: science is not routine work.
It’s questioning assumptions, failing forward, and building new models of reality.

Grateful to do this at KU Leuven with a team pushing drug delivery forward 🔬⚡

Happy Easter from #TheWackerLab 🐣🌸

Science doesn’t stop — from drug delivery to biomolecular transformation, let us keep pushing to understand, predict & optimize 🔬⚡

Recharge, stay curious, and enjoy the break!

Nanomedicine meets patient reality 👇

Cornilă et al. present orodispersible tablets delivering nanoparticles for paediatric patients: simple, smart, impactful.
Great work in EJPB

Unexpected visitor at my new home #KULeuven! 10 years after a winter school in Maringá , Andrea Diniz and I meet again — this time at the #DDDlab.

Science connects people across continents and years.
Treasure those friendships.

As Editorial Board Member of the European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, I love seeing work that challenges conventional release testing. Read at 🔗 https://t.co/2iwbkjRStv
Key idea: Release in the eye is not just dissolution!

Happy CNY 2026 from #TheWackerLab 🎉 My head is in grants, data & drug delivery already — but a piece of my heart is at crowded family dinners and festive tables. A little nostalgic tonight at my first #NewYear back from SG. Warm wishes to all! ✨ #KULeuven #TeamDDD #FestiveMoods

Good morning, science enthusiasts ☀️
About to give my invited talk at the Two-Day International Conference at Indira University.
Looking forward to discussing biomolecular transformation of complex injectables!

📢 Faculty opening in Drug Delivery at KU Leuven

Looking for experienced postdocs ready for independence.
Work with Guy Van den Mooter, Pieter Annaert & me.
Focus: drug delivery, biologics, new tech — agenda-shaping role, not a plug-in hire.

New in EJPB: Infant formula as an enabling formulation for paediatric drugs 🍼 Clofazimine shows ~2.5× higher oral bioavailability in rats & piglets when co-administered with formula. Mechanistic + translational + practical. 🔗 https://t.co/jM5ixT7PW3 #DrugDelivery #Paediatrics

Last day at NUS! Tomorrow I start at a new chapter at KU Leuven!

Also stumbled ~6 months late into the trend of letting ChatGPT design your own action figure. My “magic ball” is a nanoparticle. Of course.

Dissolution science in gene delivery? We love the misfits.
Follow us!

How reliably can we predict the performance of depot injectables? Their months-long release depends on formulation & tissue physiology. Proud to share that Jeslyn Low just passed her 2nd qualifying exam — a big PhD milestone! 🎉

From sunny Singapore to Leuven ❄️ A new academic home at Campus Gasthuisberg. I miss my team and friends, but I’m grateful for a warm welcome and an inspiring scientific community. Looking forward to relaunching the research after Christmas. 🎄

Measuring phospholipid release from LNPs... that's going much further than dissolution science - that's measuring biomolecular transformation.

Congrats to Phyo on a awesome QE2 defense today! She accepted the challenge of a tough topic and delivered an awesome talk. Well done!

[TheWackerLab @TheWackerLab]

One more sprint before I join KU Leuven as Professor for Biopharmaceutics. Grateful for the trust and excited to build on 600+ years of scientific tradition. Thanks to Singapore & NUS for an unforgettable journey. Here’s to shaping the future of dissolution science

Thrilled to announce that Tianqi's work on nanoassemblies of PEN-FFW was accepted by the Journal of Controlled Release! Stay tuned, we will highlight when the paper reaches production. Huge thx to our amazing team, collaborators, and friends!

Today we say goodbye to Steffi from Ulli Massing’s group (Freiburg) 🇩🇪
She joined #TheWackerLab for release experiments and brought great energy!
Likely our last German visitor at NUS before the next big chapter begins.
Safe travels, Steffi! ✈️
