Research at SweDeliver
SweDeliver foster interdisciplinary research through close collaboration between academia and industry, building a strong competence ecosystem in drug delivery. Our research activities focus on parenteral, oral, and aerosol-based drug delivery. A fourth work package is dedicated to professional development for both early-career researchers and experienced professionals.
By encouraging an open and innovative environment, new ideas are developed and explored, and the resulting knowledge is shared across all partners to strengthen expertise in the field.
Work package Parenteral Drug Delivery
In this Work package we develop new formulations and improved delivery systems for subcutaneous drug administration.
Work package Oral Drug Delivery
In this Work package we improve the design of drug delivery systems that fulfil the requirements for absorption from the small intestine and colon.
Work package Aerosol Drug Delivery
In this work package we focus on using novel excipients to increase the stability and performance of inhalation powders.
Work package Training & Career Development
In this work package we give our junior researchers the strategic competences for future leading positions in Swedish life science.
Technical Platforms • Cross initiatives
