Sitting Down With... Diane Paskiet, Director of Scientific Affairs at West Pharmaceutical Services, USA.

Incremental improvements to ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) have failed to deliver the tangible advances that researchers really want. Sometimes, a full overhaul by re-engineering from the bottom-up is the only way to innovate and move the field forward.

Are current dosage forms really as easy and convenient for patients as pharma manufacturers say they are?

Nanoparticles help to deliver a three-in-one attack on metastatic melanoma cells

A clinical trial of an FAAH inhibitor in France goes terribly wrong, but whether the compound or manufacturing are to blame remains to be seen

Lipoprotein-nanoplatelets leave researchers hungry to explore drug delivery potential

How do we move on from a sombre start to 2016?

Many drug candidates are as poorly soluble as “brick dust”, making oral delivery a significant challenge.

From Iceland’s volcanic springs to a lab in South Denmark; does the microbe Sulfolobus. islandicus hold the key to a drug’s safe transit through the gut?
