Abstract

In recent years, the drug delivery industry has focused on the development of established drugs coming off patent. With an ever-increasing competition in the market, drug delivery companies must become more involved in the earlier stages of drug development in addition to the discovery and research of innovative new materials and technologies.

SMi’s Drug Delivery Global Summit is designed to bring together key industry leaders from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and drug delivery fields. Providing expert opinion, the conference offers the latest discoveries and trends in transdermal, opthalmic, oral, nasal and pulmoanry delivery, nanotechnology, drug delivery design and formulation strategies. This event also offers advice on the business and management side of developing a new delivery device and successfully brining it to market.
