About the Topic

Objectives:

1. Advancement of lung therapeutics at the interface of discovery and development.
2. Cross-functional exposure, thinking, and seeding innovation.

Symposium Description:

The lung therapeutic symposium is aimed at bringing together scientists from the inhalation world for 2 days of networking and knowledge sharing taking place completely virtually on July 29th and 30th. The symposium will feature in-depth presentations covering a broad range of specific topics, from particles on cell culture to spray drying caveats to discussing potential alternative approaches for the development of generic inhalation drugs. In addition, current regulatory recommendations and guidelines for bioequivalence approaches of orally inhaled drug products will be highlighted. These data driven presentations and case studies focusing on advanced particle engineering techniques should be considered for the design of robust inhaled dosage forms.
