Event Overview:

Drug development today is shaped by 2 forces: the technical challenge of formulating complex molecules and the external challenge of navigating unstable global supply chains. Low water solubility and stability issues continue to hinder the entry of new small molecules into the market, as well as the development of peptides. Meanwhile, tariffs and onshoring pressures are altering cost structures and manufacturing strategies. Spray drying offers a versatile solution that addresses both issues, tackling bioavailability, stability, and delivery challenges while scaling efficiently to meet commercial demand.

This webinar will examine how incorporating large-scale domestic spray drying capacity earlier in the development process can help sponsors expedite timelines, reduce costs, and enhance portfolio resilience amid geopolitical uncertainties. Attendees will learn how this technology supports rapid development, reduces costs for high-volume therapies, and minimizes risks associated with global manufacturing disruptions.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Evaluate how spray drying supports small molecules and peptides.
• Understand how large-scale, US-based spray drying contributes to lower COGS and supply chain security.
• Understand why scaling early reduces reformulation delays and positions programs for faster market entry.

Who Should Attend:

• Director/manager of formulation development, principal scientist for formulation/drug product development, senior scientist of formulation development, principal scientist of formulation development
• Director/manager of process development, senior scientist for process engineering, director/manager of pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Director/manager of chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC), CMC scientist, CMC project lead, director/manager of supply chain or supply chain strategy
• Product manager of drug development, program manager of pharmaceutical development, director/manager of technical operations
• Director/manager of R&D, director/manager of business development (pharma/biotech), portfolio manager of drug development, director/manager of external manufacturing or tech transfer
• Director/manager of quality assurance/quality control, regulatory affairs manager/specialist, procurement manager (pharmaceutical manufacturing), project leader for pharmaceutical innovation
