Parallel screening approaches for non-invasive delivery of macromolecules
Today, a majority of biological therapies are delivered via traditional but invasive injectable formats. This often results in poor patient compliance and is not the most suitable route for chronic treatments. Non-invasive delivery of macromolecules is a dynamic research field. Several tactics have been developed to overcome biological barriers, however, they are limited by focusing on a single delivery technology and siloed approach.
In this webinar, the Non-Invasive Macromolecule Delivery Consortium experts will provide insights on physiological and formulation challenges in delivering macromolecules and strategies on overcoming these challenges. It will feature a new and integrated solution designed to rapidly screen biomolecules potential for non-invasive delivery route, assess formulation strategies in parallel, and deliver animal study material in as little as 3 weeks at a minimal price.

David J Brayden, Ph.D.,
Professor of Drug Delivery, University College Dublin
Dr. David Brayden is Full Professor of Advanced Drug Delivery at the School of Veterinary Medicine and a Fellow of the UCD Conway Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Pharmacology at the University of Cambridge and did a post-doctoral research fellowship at Stanford University. Afterwards, he set up Elan Corporation's pharmacology laboratory in Dublin, where he became a senior scientist and project manager. In 2001, he joined UCD as a lecturer in veterinary pharmacology and rose to the rank of Full Professor of Advanced Drug Delivery. His major research interests are in oral peptide delivery. He is the author or co-author of more than 200 research publications and patents. In 2012, he was inducted into the College of Fellows of the Controlled Release Society. Professor Brayden serves on the Editorial Advisory Boards of several peer review journals. Professor Brayden works as an independent consultant for drug delivery companies.
