For over two decades, Prof. Bauer headed the Department of Pharmacognosy with great dedication, while Prof. Mayer shaped the Department of Pharmacology from the 1980s onwards. Both professors were outstanding, exceptionally productive researchers and highly respected internationally. Over generations of students, they were always fully into teaching. Therefore, key figures of our institute are leaving. However, the "keys" have been passed on so that the Pharmaceutical Sciences will continue successfully in the future. And: students may still meet Prof. Bauer and Prof. Mayer in one lecture or another over the next years.
We wish them both all the best and would like to thank them for their outstanding achievements at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
