This presentation will showcase how KinetiSol has replicated and improved upon the bioavailability, manufacturability, and ecological footprint of spray dried dispersion drugs.
During the discussion, we will contrast the facility, utilities, and down stream processing requirements for KinetiSol compared to spray drying. Finally, we will dive into the biopharmaceutical performance benefits achievable with KinetiSol. These benefits will be demonstrated by a series of case studies and explained with data. By the end of the lecture, you will wonder why you ever developed your drug on a spray dryer.
The presentation, by AustinPx CSO Dave Miller, PhD will be approximately 30 minutes while guestes enjoy delectable appetizers and beverages. The presentation will be followed by a sit-down dinner.
