Another Bicyclos HEurope meeting in Budapest.
Happy to have Juanma Benito in our ranks for a short time from CSIC.
Your knowledge in the design of amphiphilic cyclodextrins and their use in gene delivery is simply stunning!
CarboHyde at Hungarian CarboHydrate Symposium
Last week, we delegated Milo and Szabolcs Béni to attend the annual Hungarian CarboHydrate Symposium.
An event with a long tradition and utmost importance to our company.
Thank you, Anikó Borbás for the excellent organization and Anderluh Marko and Juanma Benito for guest-starring at the event 🙂
See you next year!
VI International Summer School on Cyclodextrins
The VI International Summer School on Cyclodextrins, held in Genoa, Italy, brought together young scientists and leading experts under the theme “Natural molecules for a better life”. Hosted in the historic surroundings of the University of Genoa, the event kicked off with impactful keynote lectures by Dr. Milo Malanga (CarboHyde) on sustainable and scalable cyclodextrin synthesis, and Prof. Li (National University of Singapore) on supramolecular cyclodextrin assemblies for drug and gene delivery.
The summer school served as a vibrant platform for PhD students and early-career researchers to present their work, such as on thermosensitive intranasal gels, amino-acid functionalized CDs, and other drug delivery systems — via posters and flash oral presentations. Participants appreciated not only the scientific value but also the strong networking opportunities and the support of mentors like Milo Malanga and Prof. Sorrenti.
CarboHyde Cyclodextrin Masterclass VII – Cyclodextrin Basics
In order to receive the link to join, you have to register at the external CarboHyde link of the event too.
Join us for the 7th Cyclodextrin Masterclass by CarboHyde, where we dive into the fascinating world of cyclodextrins—cyclic oligosaccharides with unique capabilities that have revolutionized pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic applications.
In this introductory session, we’ll revisit the origins of cyclodextrins, their distinctive ring-shaped structures, and how these features enable them to form host–guest complexes with a wide range of molecules. Whether you’re new to the field or seeking a structured refresher, this webinar will provide a clear, concise foundation in cyclodextrin science.
We’ll explore how cyclodextrins behave in various environments, their physicochemical properties, and why their safety profile makes them ideal for diverse formulation challenges. Join us to understand the core principles behind these versatile molecules—and set the stage for deeper insights in the sessions to follow

4th CarboHyde Fishing Day
We are not getting any better in catching, but the team is more and more wonderful year by year.
Research collaboration between Adrián Matencio Durán and CarboHyde
The primary goal of this research collaboration between Universidad de Murcia and CarboHyde is to explore and develop innovative carbohydrate-based compounds, including cyclodextrin derivatives, for application in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical formulations aimed at enhancing bioavailability, therapeutic efficacy, and safety profiles of active ingredients
The retinol-loaded microneedles
Today’s cyclodextrin is about microneedles.
Cyclodextrins are emerging as valuable excipients in microneedle-based drug delivery systems due to their unique ability to form inclusion complexes with a wide range of therapeutic molecules, and the fact that such complexes can often form microneedles on their own.
By enhancing the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of drugs, cyclodextrins improve the efficiency of transdermal delivery through microneedles and can also facilitate the controlled release of active ingredients, offering a promising strategy for the delivery of poorly water-soluble compounds or sensitive biomolecules.
Incorporating cyclodextrins into microneedle matrices or coatings enables targeted, minimally invasive therapies with potential applications in vaccination, pain management, and chronic disease treatment.
And a recent, real-world example? Check out how Raphas is using CDs to stabilize retinol-loaded microneedles and achieve high transdermal delivery efficiency, thus maximizing the effect of retinol on wrinkle reduction.
