Discovery & Development

This article explains how dynamic light scattering (DLS) can be used to gather particle size distribution data for the successful use of nanosized colloidal gold in drug delivery applications.

Large molecules may grab the bulk of industry headlines, but small-molecule drugs are still pulling their weight.

Tablets and capsules are often the “go-to” choice in oral drug delivery, but what about innovations other areas?

What started as a vision of miniaturization is now beginning to have a profound influence on drug delivery.

Zap a tumor with radiation to trigger P-selectin expression, then release the drugloaded nanoparticles.

When an industry grows rapidly, innovative approaches are required to ensure sustainable growth. Here, we speak to leaders at Ireland’s National Institute for Bioprocess Research and Training – NIBRT – to find out how a focus on talent, training and technology is changing the face of the field.

After finally breaking into the US market, biosimilars have created a real buzz in the industry, but the best practice for demonstrating similarity can be daunting to say the least.

When it comes to film coating, there’s more than meets the eye. Is the drug or tablet core sensitive to acidity or moisture? What release profile is needed? And finally, how will the patient react to the finished product?

Few oral biologics have made it to market, and though the challenges are well known, the benefits are huge and the task is not impossible. New technologies can help.
