Most formulation scientists are drawn to complexity. Balázs Attila Kondoros was drawn to elegance.
“What fascinates me is how cyclodextrins, despite their simple structure, can efficiently encapsulate molecules and solve real formulation challenges.”
Ask him about his proudest achievement, and he does not point to a single project. Instead, he points to a process:
“Rather than one result, I’m most proud of building up the formulation capabilities at CarboHyde together with the team.”
The challenge that keeps him thinking?
“Achieving fully reliable prediction of host–guest interactions. That would significantly accelerate development.”
From molecular elegance to team building to predictive precision, that is how a formulation scientist thinks at CarboHyde.
More stories from the team are coming soon.
