09.16.25 -- Solving For The Future Of Drug Delivery: What's Next?

The Road To Agile Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

As demand grows for faster development timelines and more resilient supply chains, manufacturers must embrace a more agile approach. Battelle helped a specialty pharma company pioneer in-package 3D printing to manufacture customized tablets directly into blister packaging.

 

Solving For The Future Of Drug Delivery

To fully realize the potential of next-generation treatments, drug delivery must become more localized, personalized, and integrated with the biology of the patient. This shift is driving a new era of innovation at the intersection of biology, chemistry, engineering, and device design.

 

Closing The Gap: Clinician Assistive Technologies

Clinical assistive technologies work alongside clinicians to support decision-making, guide procedures, and automate routine tasks. From AI-powered diagnostics to surgical robotics, these solutions enable faster diagnoses, fewer errors, and a more consistent standard of patient care.

 

Microphysiological Systems: Closing The Gap Between Models And Medicine

Microphysiological systems (MPS) have generated tremendous excitement over the past decade as a more human-relevant alternative to animal models. The question now: how far can they go in transforming drug discovery, safety testing and, ultimately, patient care?

 

Is The Autoinjector Dead? The Future Of Patient-Centered Drug Delivery

Autoinjectors have transformed how we deliver—and think about—injectable drugs, but advances in drug formulation, alternative delivery platforms, environmental considerations, and patient expectations are all reshaping the landscape and raising new questions.
