In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Eying The Drug Delivery Regulatory Landscape: The 'Must See' Watch List For 2026, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks the panel to comment on regulatory challenges and considerations for traditional drug product pharma companies moving into combination product development. Patient centricity, device expertise, and supplier relationships are among the topics identified.
A major challenge in delivering biologics-based therapies is penetrating cells for precision delivery to therapeutic targets. In this episode of Supplier Horizons, host Tom von Gunden and CEO Mari Anne Snow from platform technology developer Eascra Biotech discuss the use of Janus base nanoparticles to effectively and safely encapsulate therapeutic payloads, including CGTs and other large molecule biologics. The conversation also turns to the benefits of particle production conducted in space.
In a special episode of In Combination, host Tom von Gunden visits the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Nanomedicine Manufacturing Laboratory at Duquesne University. There, a professor and some graduate students share insights into the program’s focus on innovating nanoparticle formulation, manufacturing, and delivery. The coverage illuminates the role of academic, industry, and government partnerships in advancing the science and technology of nanomedicines toward clinical translation.
In this videocast episode, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 14 of The Combination Products Handbook (CRC Press) with the book’s editor Susan Neadle, along with chapter coauthors Stephanie Goebel, Cherry Malonzo Marty, and Viky Verna. The group provides overviews of the commonalities and variances in regulatory definitions and guidances for combination products across global jurisdictions and agencies.
