CADDI and Northeastern University to Host Symposium

SOMERSET, N.J. – February 28, 2019 — The Catalent Applied Drug Delivery Institute today announced that it is to hold a one-day symposium entitled “Smart Drug Development and Design” on Tuesday, March 12 at Northeastern University, Boston.

The symposium will be chaired by Cornell Stamoran, Ph.D., Co-Chair of the Catalent Applied Drug Delivery Institute, and will feature scientific experts from leading pharmaceutical companies and Rebecca Carrier, Ph.D., Professor and Associate Chair for Research, Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University.

The event will explore the key considerations for transitioning a molecule from discovery to clinic, including API and formulation development, pharmacokinetics, quality, and CMC requirements. The event will also include a discussion of patient-focused design principles and will give attendees the opportunity to apply what they have learned in a highly interactive audience participation session, as well as including ample time for networking.

Through our interactions with leading innovators, we consistently hear that companies do not have all of the development resources needed, or cannot effectively share knowledge between departments.  We designed this workshop to bring together scientists across disciplines involved in early development to learn and apply smart drug design concepts. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate how every design decision has the potential to influence patient outcomes,” commented Dr. Stamoran.

Established in 2012, the Catalent Applied Drug Delivery Institute employs a multi-tiered approach to accelerate the adoption of advanced drug delivery technologies to improve patient outcomes.
