Liposomes for drug delivery: what, why and how?

Why you should participate:
- Gain insight into the benefits of liposome drug delivery and the technical challenges of liposome formulation and production
- Hear about the experience in this area from speakers from Utrecht University and OctoPlus
- Join an interactive webinar that leaves ample opportunity to discuss your experience or questions regarding liposomal drug delivery

Speakers include:
Prof. Daan Crommelin, Utrecht University
Professor Crommelin is professor at the Department of Pharmaceutics at Utrecht University. He is adjunct professor at the Department of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Utah. Prof. Crommelin published extensively and is on the editorial board of 10 peer reviewed journals in the pharmaceutical sciences.

What you can learn:
Liposomes are versatile carriers of a wide array of active molecules. By tailoring their pharmacokinetics, reducing toxicity, targeting to specific organs or lesions, liposomes can accommodate virtually any drug delivery strategy.

Selection of lipids, a suitable processing method, up-scaling of liposomal formulations and manufacture at a commercial scale must be dealt with before liposomal formulations can become a viable product. The scaling up of a bench scale preparation method to an industrial production process is a challenging task, but can be done successfully when specific expertise and appropriate equipment are available. These aspects will be discussed during the webinar and there will be ample opportunity to discuss your experience or questions regarding liposome formulations.
