Posing with our brand new labmate
He will make contract works much faster at CarboHyde and support our pipeline development without complain.
Of course, the guys will not let me touch it, but that is better for all of us probably 🙂
Excited to represent CarboHyde at the DDF Summit in Berlin!
Our Lead Formulation Expert, Balázs Attila Kondoros, will be attending the upcoming Drug Delivery & Formulation (DDF) Summit in Berlin, where he’ll be diving into the latest innovations in drug delivery technologies.
At CarboHyde, we are particularly interested in exploring how emerging challenges in formulation and delivery could be addressed using cyclodextrins — unlocking new possibilities for solubility, stability, and bioavailability.
Balazs is looking forward to connecting with fellow experts, exchanging ideas, and identifying collaboration opportunities.

Interior Editing via Dynamic Molecular Recognition
Not often do I say this, but I have encountered something intriguing in cyclodextrin chemistry.
While I am not a synthesis expert, this development is remarkable.
Despite decades of research in synthetic chemistry and materials sciences, the selective editing of chemical bonds within molecular containers like cyclodextrins remains a significant challenge.
Recent findings reveal that quinuclidine, a catalyst capable of reversibly binding to the cavity of α-cyclodextrin, can selectively abstract hydrogen atoms from one of its endo C–H bonds upon single-electron oxidation. This process causes the geminal hydroxyl group to flip to the interior face of the macrocycle.
The endo-hydroxylated α-cyclodextrin has demonstrated the ability to separate chiral compounds that its natural counterpart could not resolve in gas chromatography, thanks to its desymmetrized cavity and polar recognition site.

Who is who at CarboHyde?
Our cyclodextrin specialty company could not flourish without the amazing talents we have on the team.
But who is who and what are they doing?
We would like to bring all folks closer to you, not only who are more active on social media. From left to right:
Tamás Vargadi, COO: Tamas is handling big projects at CarboHyde that involve CDMOs, CRO and other external partners. He is also responsible for our food supplement product line and general quality matters.
Tamas Sohajda, CEO, let’s skip this one 🙂
Janka Juhász, researcher: Janka has a double role in the company, she handles the internal coordination of several national and international grants (including our website) and learns into coming a formulation scientist.
Balázs Attila Kondoros, senior scientist: Balazs leads our formulation team, he coordinates several partnered projects at all times while works on developing fascinating pipeline ideas too.
Milo Malanga PhD CSO: our cyclodextrin chemistry wizard. Milo is a widely known and acknowledged expert in CD synthesis with unlimited create ideas and pragmatic innovations. His fascination is research and pipeline, yet also helps in medicinal chemistry challenges for our partners
Gergely Toth, CFO: as the only one with an economic degree, Gergely helps the company to stay on the ground amidst all the science and dreaming. He handles all financial, legal and administrative tasks at CarboHyde while actively seeks opportunities for strategic growth.
Who are not in the picture:
Mihaly Balint, R&D director: Misi is mainly active in the synthetic lab and specializes in industrialization of chemical processes. We often deal with translational science: bringing lab scale procedures to industrial level, often under GMP. This is his field
Kristóf Felegyi, scientist: Kristof is our jolly joker, the only one that has strong expertise in chemistry, analysis and formulation with cyclodextrins. He handles both internal and external projects and complex challenges with this interdisciplinary skillset.
Szejtli Gabriella, HR: Gabi is responsible for keeping us sound and sane and guards our mental health while we guard the health of others with progressive cyclodextrin innovation.
