After a 3-year hiatus, the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) 2022 PharmSci 360 will mark the in-person return of one of the largest and most influential pharmaceutical industry conferences of the year. At the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, MA from October 17-19th, Crystal Pharmatech will be advancing the scientific conversation as they meet with industry players, buyers, and suppliers from around the world. As a leading expert in solid-state CRO services and formulation CDMO services, Crystal Pharmatech will contribute its unique expertise in API development supply chain to the discussions on the future of pharma.

Conferences like PharmSci 360 play a vital role in improving global health by facilitating the exchange of research and ideas from thousands of scientists and industry experts. Crystal Pharmatech contributes to the advancement of novel pharmaceutical solutions by providing biotechs with critical services and decades of expertise to move molecules from the lab to the clinic.

At Booth 320, attendees will have the opportunity to learn why hundreds of biotechs around the world turn to Crystal Pharmatech to solve their form and formulation challenges.

Answers Through Innovation

Technological proficiency, combined with decades of trusted experience, is the reason clients turn to Crystal Pharmatech when they run into challenges such as:

• Uncertainties with form and formulation risks

• Determining the necessity of a salt/co-crystal

• Achieving desired tox exposures

• Accelerating to FIH

Robert Wenslow, Ph.D., Crystal Pharmatech’s Vice President of Business Development expressed his guiding principle:

“Successful and efficient decisions on Phase I salt form and formulation are now routinely determined in the industry using novel technology combined with benchmarking.  If partnering with Crystal Pharmatech before animal PK studies, there is no more need for a random walk that wastes time and resources.  We utilize a data-driven, multi-disciplinary approach based on institutional knowledge, innovative technology, and comparative analysis to provide best-in-class form and formulation decisions.”

This mindset translates to a range of advanced capabilities available to the company’s clients:

• Innovative PBPK model simulation

• Polymorph, co-crystal, and solubility prediction software

• Automated pKa and Log P determination on <5mg of material
