Career

Dr. Hoffmanns studied chemistry at the Ruhr-University in Bochum, where he focused on inorganic chemistry. He completed his degree in 1999 with the diploma thesis, “Contributions to the structural chemistry of lithium-rich phosphane-clusters”.

From 2000 to 2005 he worked on his doctoral thesis, first at the Max Planck Institute for Bioinorganic Chemistry, Mülheim a.d. Ruhr, and later at the Institute for Pharmacy und Molecular Biotechnology (IPMB) Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg. The thesis was entitled “Selective labelling of peptides with organometallic compounds - chemical and biological characterization”.

During the course of his doctoral studies Dr. Hoffmanns worked on novel methods for labelling of biomolecules, such as peptides, with organometallic compounds. In that connection, he studied the impact of such organometallic labels on the blood-brain-barrier passage of said biomolecules. He is particularly knowledgeable in organometallic and organic synthesis, as well as in a variety of biotechnological methods.

Dr. Hoffmanns qualified as a German Patent Attorney in 2009 and as a European Patent Attorney in 2010, after he was trained at Müller-Boré, the German Patent and Trademark Office, and the German Federal Patent Court.

Dr. Hoffmanns has been with Müller-Boré since 2005. He became a partner in 2012.
