Time: 11AM New York/3PM London

Enhancing bioavailability has remained a top priority for drug development scientists, and increasingly so due to the complexity of molecules emerging from discovery. Lipid based formulation has a long history of commercial success, having enabled over 60 NDAs in the US alone.

Learn the key considerations for evaluating available technologies to find the most suitable bioavailability solution. When is lipid delivery perhaps the best option? An exclusive survey conducted with hundreds of front-line formulation scientists on their criteria for selecting bioavailability enhancing technologies will shed light on these questions.

Register for the webinar to hear the opinion of hundreds of respondents and insights of industry experts, with an opportunity to ask questions and share your own opinion. Recent innovations in lipid-based technology and case studies will also be discussed.
