Formulation and Characterization of Nasal Sprays
Recently, specially-designed drug delivery devices have emerged that can administer sprays or powders to the olfactory region of the nose, thereby bypassing the blood-brain barrier and enabling delivery of the drug directly to the central nervous system.

Building Flexibility, A New Business Model for a Volatile Industry
Working with a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) with expertise in all the services you require ensures greater service uniformity, efficiency and collaboration throughout all processing stages. CDMOs can provide the processes, technology, specialized intelligence and rapid response to changing needs that can give you a competitive edge. They enable sponsors to rapidly scale drug development and manufacturing operations up or down and add specialized capabilities, accommodating flexible scheduling and volume spikes. As such, sponsors outsourcing effectively to a CDMO can move to a more variable cost structure while accessing more drug development and manufacturing expertise than if they kept everything in-house.
