Custom Traditional and Multi-Omics Media Development Enhances Antibody Production in CHO Cells (Jan 2024)

Meeta B. Kratz (Global Vice President, Product Management & Marketing, Lonza Capsule and Health Ingredients) talks about Lonza's future and how that works in tandem to meet client needs.

The packaging and distribution of clinical supplies is a fundamental piece to the overall success of a clinical trial, and advance preparation can help establish a more efficient supply chain. Selecting the best geographical location for those activities, however, depends on the clinical trial protocol, business decisions, and even the investigational medicinal product (IMP) being studied.

Drive growth by establishing integrated, AI-fueled lab systems and a data-driven corporate culture that’s ready and resilient, no matter what business challenges emerge tomorrow. Evolving to a Lab of the Future takes the right technologies, systems, and expert guidance.

Lucy Zhou, Skin Lab Manager, discusses the importance and applications for utilizing in vitro Release Testing during development of generic topical drug compounds. Lucy discusses how IVRT can play a critical role by saving cost and time during product development and the techniques and applications for using in vitro testing to achieve desired product outcomes.

Localized treatment approaches for diabetic neuropathic pain management, like pregabalin liposomal topical formulations, offer a novel strategy by directly targeting affected areas. Liposomes enhance skin permeability and sustain drug release, delivering pregabalin efficiently to peripheral nerves while reducing systemic exposure. In a proof-of-concept study using an IVPT and a diabetic neuropathic pain rat model, improved skin penetration and significant reductions in mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia were shown.

Lucy Zhou, Skin Lab Manager, discusses the importance and applications for utilizing IVPT during formulation development of novel topical compounds to help select excipients and permeation enhancers that will properly deliver the drug into the desired layer of the skin or system.
