Welcome to a SweDeliver Webinar with Anna Simonsson, PhD student in the Aerosol drug delivery Work Package, presenting her project Adhesive mixtures for inhalation powders and Hanna Lavén, PhD student in the Oral drug delivery Work Package, presenting her project Targeted colonic delivery for local treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
At this autumn's sixth SweDeliver webinar, we meet Anna Simonsson, PhD student at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences, who in her ongoing research is working to gain novel information, enabling new strategies on how to formulate adhesive mixtures that are mechanically stable and of high drug load, providing both good manufacturability and dispersibility.
We also meet Hanna Lavén, PhD student at the Department of Pharmacy, who in her work aims to develop effective and sustainable personalized treatments for patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by specifically delivering drugs to molecular targets of diseased areas in the colon.
