Until her retirement, she held the position of Chair of Pharmacy and Medicinal Chemistry at Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg.
Holzgrabe's research interests include the development of new anti-infectives, the development of selective ligands for muscarinic receptors, as well as bioanalysis and drug analysis using capillary electrophoresis and NMR spectroscopy. In recent years, she has also been recognized as an expert in relation to the nitrosamine contamination in the blood pressure medication Valsartan, and she has published articles on this topic and been interviewed for television.
For years, Holzgrabe has been vocal about the issue of drug supply chains, which often rely on production in China and India. She is known for her quote, "The Chinese don't need an atomic bomb. They simply don't supply antibiotics [...] then Europe takes care of itself." In the summer of 2022, she initiated the Essential Therapeutics Initiative for Chemicals Sourcing for the European Union (EThICS) project at the University of Würzburg, which aims to secure the supply of essential medicines in Europe.ver menos
