He is scientist, professor and advocate for multidisciplinary research on patient-centric drug products and affordable medicines. Prof. Stegemann trains the next generation of pharmaceutical scientists. His professional experience spans all stages of drug development and manufacturing--from early development through commercial manufacturing.

His passion and research led him to found the Geriatric Medicine Society e.V. in 2009, a multidisciplinary network that aims to facilitate the development of age-appropriate medicines that older patients can easily and safely take. He also serves in various organizations as chairman or committee member to progress pharmaceutical sciences.

He has established a focus group on patient-centric drug development through the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS).

As This is integral to improving the quality of life of patients in the future.

He has spoken at innumerable conferences around the world on patient-centric drug delivery, pharmaceutical product development for special patient populations, multiparticulate technologies, adherence, geriatric drug delivery, quality by design and added value generics.
