Thats amofor.
At amofor, we believe in the unshakable truths of physical chemistry.
Thermodynamically stable formulations do not change.
Thermodynamically unstable formulations will change—it’s only a matter of time.
This is not a matter of opinion, but a matter of natural law. That’s why we place thermodynamics at the heart of formulation development.
We are a formulation development company specializing in active ingredients for pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and life science applications. Our mission is clear: to improve the bioavailability of active compounds through salt formation, cocrystal design, and amorphous formulations—all guided by a deep understanding of physical stability.
What We Do
Using decades-old principles—augmented by modern modeling—we develop physically stable formulations that stand the test of time. Our in-house thermodynamic tools allow us to predict and design the right solid form for your active ingredient.
With only a few hundred milligrams of your compound and a handful of targeted experiments, we identify the most suitable excipients and the optimal preparation method—cutting down drastically on both lab time and material costs.
Our Promise
We do not rely on trial and error.
We do not accept instability as a fact of life.
We use thermodynamics to make formulation predictable, efficient, and stable from the start.
At amofor, formulation is not just a process—it is a discipline.
Who we are
Prof. Gabriele Sadowski
Prof. Dr. Gabriele Sadowski holds a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry and has served as Full Professor of Thermodynamics at TU Dortmund University since 2001. She is internationally recognized as a co-developer of PC-SAFT (Perturbed-Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory)—the world’s most widely used thermodynamic model for complex fluid systems.
Her research focuses on the thermodynamics of complex mixtures, with particular emphasis on polymeric systems and pharmaceutical formulations. Over the past decades, she has made seminal contributions to the understanding and prediction of phase behavior in systems involving polymers, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and excipients.
Prof. Sadowski’s scientific excellence has been honored with numerous awards, the most prestigious being the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize of the German Research Foundation (DFG) in 2011—Germany’s highest scientific distinction.
She brings unparalleled expertise in thermodynamic theory and its application to pharmaceutical formulation design.
Dr. Christian Lübbert
Dr. Christian Lübbert studied Chemical Engineering at TU Dortmund University, where he developed a strong foundation in process thermodynamics and pharmaceutical formulation. He earned his Ph.D. in 2018, focusing on the thermodynamic prediction of long-term stability in amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) and other pharmaceutical formulations.
His work set a new benchmark in the field and was honored as the Best German Ph.D. Thesis in Thermodynamics in 2018. He was also awarded the TU Dortmund Ph.D. Prize, recognizing outstanding scientific contributions with high practical relevance.
He pioneered both experimental and theoretical methods to understand and forecast physical instabilities in ASDs—such as amorphous phase separation and crystallization—under real storage conditions.
Dr. Lübbert brings this scientific precision and clarity of thought to amofor’s mission: designing thermodynamically stable, high-performance formulations based on first principles.
