Presentation Title: Nanoforming - the Patient and Planet Centric Approach From Increasing Bioavailability to Enabling Sustained Drug Delivery

Abstract: Nanoform are working with many companies globally to address the pressing issue of drug bioavailability. Listen to this talk to understand how nanoparticles made by the green CESS technology can help to solve this hurdle and at the same time deliver more patient centric medicines.

This talk will also cover a new proprietary formulation platform developed by Nanoform that acts as part of the Nanoforming toolbox to increase flexibility for processing some challenging molecules. Nanoform can now change the solid state properties of nanoparticles post processing, controlling a solid state change from nanoamorphous to nanocrystalline without changing the particle size. Listen in to see how Nanoform have developed a green viable alternative to ASDs and Spray Drying, without the need for organic hydrocarbon solvents and high polymer loads.

This talk will also cover recent work conducted with Celanese where nanoparticles have been used to create high drug load long acting sustained release implants.

Small really is a powerful ingredient in formulation!
