New Approach to Measuring Drug Levels in the Lungs / 2025
Fraunhofer ITEM Researchers Receive Willi Stahlhofen Award for their Publication
A research team from the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine ITEM has, for the first time, demonstrated that drug concentrations in the human lung can be measured directly via particles in exhaled breath – a breakthrough with major implications for the targeted development and optimization of inhaled therapies. For this groundbreaking study, Prof. Dr. Jens Hohlfeld, Head of Airway Research at Fraunhofer ITEM, together with Dr. Olaf Holz, received the prestigious Willi Stahlhofen Award from the International Society for Aerosols in Medicine (ISAM). The award ceremony took place on June 24 at the ISAM Congress in Washington DC, USA.
