In 1988 he joined Boehringer Mannheim, later Roche where he stayed until 1999. During this time Dr. Winter was responsible for parenteral and liquid dosage form development including every development step from preformulation, to stability studies and clinical supplies to scale up, production transfer and dossier submission.

He led a large scale aseptic pilot plant to supply worldwide clinical studies with lyophilisates and sterile solutions. His special interest was focused on protein and peptide formulations, freeze drying and parenteral drug delivery systems. He was involved in the development of major drug products like EPO, Reteplase and Ibandronate.

In 1999 G.Winter was appointed as a full professor for Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceutics at the University of Munich , Center for Drug Research, where he is currently working on protein stabilisation, parenteral dosage form technology, novel drying technologies, drug delivery systems and colloidal drug formulations.
