This year’s topics delve into the challenges and opportunities facing drug delivery today, including the future of RNA delivery beyond injectable vaccines, a first-time-ever discussion with payers on delivery convenience and patient reimbursement, and meeting the demands of at-home drug delivery
NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 28, 2022
The Conference Forum announced today that it released the first agenda, including the Keynotes and Zeitgeist Speakers for the 12th annual PODD: Partnership Opportunities in Drug Delivery, happening October 24-25, 2022 at the Westin Copley Place, in Boston, MA.
The 2022 Keynote Speakers are: Robert Langer, PhD, David H. Koch Institute Professor, MIT, and John Maraganore, PhD, former and founding CEO, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, and the Zeitgeist Speaker is Nicholas Warne, PhD, Vice President Pharmaceutical R&D, Pfizer.
Dr Langer will be providing an update on the exciting progress happening out of the Langer Lab, including development of polymers to deliver drugs, particularly genetically engineered proteins, DNA and RNAi, continuously at controlled rates for prolonged periods of time.
Dr Maraganore will share highlights and lessons learned from his 19 years as a CEO including how he and his team conquered some very difficult drug delivery challenges.
Dr Warne will discuss what the drug delivery industry learned from COVID-19, and approaches to leverage knowledge of RNA and LNP technologies for other therapeutic applications.
The role of drug delivery has become increasingly more important because of the COVID-19 pandemic, advancements in drugs and patient preferences. The current state of drug delivery technologies aim to overcome existing challenges, such as improved organ targeting, increased therapeutic index, and reduced off-target toxicities, in a way that was previously unachievable and fulfill the promise of life-changing therapeutics.
“This year’s topics delve into the challenges and opportunities facing drug delivery today, including the future of RNA delivery beyond injectable vaccines, a first-time-ever discussion with payers on delivery convenience and patient reimbursement, and meeting the demands of at-home drug delivery,” said Valerie Bowling, Executive Director, Conference Forum.
The 2022 PODD co-chairs are:
- Shawn Davis, PhD, AstraZeneca
- Ann Daugherty, PhD, Genentech
- Mark Schiebler, PhD, Roche
- Uri Baruch, Cambridge Design Partnership
