Workshop will be on “Novel Platforms in Ocular Drug Delivery.” Hosted by Dr. Thakur Raghu Raj Singh, Reader in Pharmaceutics, Queen’s University Belfast.
In this workshop, challenges associated with different delivery systems and routes of administration will be explored. The benefits and challenges in the design of long-acting (LA) drug delivery systems will be analysed. In this session there will be tangible examples of both ocular and non-ocular LA technologies that have been successfully launched on the market. Finally, it will focus on the design space of LA technologies for small molecules vs. biologics and the applicability of devices in the delivery of LA formulations.
By attending, delegates will learn current unmet medical needs in the treatment of ocular diseases. They will be able to discuss current LA products on the market by analysing both ocular and non-ocular technologies. Also discuss challenges in the design of a LA ocular drug delivery technology for small vs large molecules. Attendees will be able to learn the role of devices in the delivery of LA drug delivery systems and review novel LA technologies under development.
