Optimise Your Formulation Strategy to Decrease Time to Market and Lower Development Costs

In the current economic climate, there is more pressure than ever before to ensure that pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical drug candidates are developed into target effective and profit-making drugs in the most efficient manner.

With this in mind, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies are concentrating on streamlining their formulation and development strategies to ensure that optimal solubility and bioavailablity of pharmaceuticals and optimal stability and delivery of biological drugs is achieved in the most cost-effective way. And to accomplish this, companies are implementing a tailored compliment of new technologies, techniques and analytics in order to optimise efficiency and in turn, maximise commercial return.

Pharma IQ’s 6th Annual Improving Solubility for Pharmaceuticals & Biologics conference will explore the newest drug enhancement technologies and the best practice strategies of their implementation to ensure effectiveness and efficiency from discovery to preclinical development for both pharmaceuticals and biologics in two separate afternoon streams on each of the conference days.

New for 2010!

Join the exciting new biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical streams focused on the latest challenges, trends and innovative techniques and approaches to optimise small molecule and biologic formulations, with hot topics including: nanotechnologies, prediction technology, analytics, characterisation, aggregation, stability and strategies to boost pipeline efficiency.

Industry And Academic Professionals Will Share Their Expertise To Help You To:

Pharmaceutical Stream:

Boost economic return through BCS approaches for intelligent formulation design with Dr David Elder, GSK
Maximise time and resource use efficiency through implementation of an optimal strategy combining physical-chemical property characterisation, screening and in vivo in vitro tools with Dr Gareth Pearce, Merck, Sharpe & Dohme
Implement nanotechnologies to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of drug candidates and in turn create successful formulations with Dr Heike Dinter-Heidorn, Solvay Pharmaceuticals
Employ self assembling polymers to address the challenges of hydrophobic drug solubilisation and enhance pharmaceutical delivery with Dr Woei Ping Cheng, University of Hertfordshire
Predict the solubility of NCEs through implementation of statistical modelling methodologies with Dr Takashi Mano & Dr Kiyoyuki Omoto, Pfizer

Biopharmaceutical Stream:

Enhance solubility and colloidal stability of biologics through assessment of protein stability during selection and analysis of the correlation between solubility and stability with Dr Patrick Garidel, Boehringer Ingelheim
Control and understand protein solubility through assessment of intrinsic protein features and evaluation of techniques that can be used to predict protein solubility with Dr Ravi Chari, Abbott Bioresearch Centre
Implement biophysical lead selection criteria to optimise the selection process and develop successful methods for low mg amounts with Dr Christian Rischel, Novo Nordisk
Learn about novel modified cyclodextrins and nanoparticles as delivery strategies for siRNA and methods to create successful nucleic acid therapies with Professor Caitriona O’Droscoll, University College Cork
Hear insights into accelerated stability studies and approaches to protect proteins from aggregation due to external stress with Dr Xavier LeScout, Merck Serono SA

What did your peers think?

It was very valuable to have an overview about techniques which can be used and which basics are needed for this. It showed me that other pharmaceutical companies are faced with the same problems and to exchange on this

Susanne Tollar, Solvay Pharmaceuticals

Good balance between technical presentations & practical ones

Nuria Cubel Sune, Lab Esteve

Interesting & willing to create discussion and to elaborate the presented themes. It was valuable

Isabel Sequeira, Hovione Farmaciencia SA

I learned some interesting new technologies & approaches
