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 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 panelist Barr Weiner to describe the role of case study examples in defining and regulating combination products globally. Weiner makes the case for agreement about the science and technology being more important than commonality in terminology, Panelist Fran DeGrazio agrees.

Using volatile processing aids to increase drug solubility in more environmentally friendly solvents, like methanol, reduces the amount of solvent required to manufacture amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs).

In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 10 of The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press) with the book’s editor, Susan Neadle, and chapter co-author Fran DeGrazio. On the topic of supplier quality and controls, Susan and Fran discuss key considerations for using third-party suppliers of raw materials, constituent parts, and services in combination product development.
