Expert is an expert in delivery of poorly soluble drugs. He has 15+ years experience solving commercially relevant problems in the pharmaceutical industry. He has extensive experience managing multi-disciplinary drug delivery projects from inception to completion, and has over 20 patents in the area of drug delivery and drug delivery materials development. His drug delivery expertise includes oral, parenteral, discovery support, formulation, dosage form development (IR and CR), process design, and in vivo study design. In support of these areas, he has extensive solid and liquid analytical method design and characterization experience (e.g., thermal, X-ray, SAXS, NMR, optical spectroscopy, fluorescence, particle sizing, surface characterization, ultracentrifugation, confocal microscopy, optical and electron microscopy, and GPC). Much of his work included analyzing crystallization, including X-ray analysis, morphology control (size, shape, habit, and polymorph), thermodynamics/kinetics of crystallization, and salt-form selection. In addition, he has a strong background in a variety of nanotechnologies for drug delivery, including liposomes, micelles, nanocrystals and polymeric nanoparticles. He has extensive experience in the delivery of poorly soluble drugs, including development of new technology, stability assessment, performance prediction, and process development (e.g., SEDDS, polymer dispersions, nanocrystals, and cyclodextrin complexes). Expert also has extensive project management experience, having led a group of 20 scientists in the development of these drug delivery technologies. He also has extensive experience in market/competitive analysis and prior-Art assessment for new products/technologies in the drug delivery area.

Expert has extensive experience developing a variety of nanotechnologies for delivery of poorly soluble drugs. These technologies include liposomes, micelles, nanocrystals and polymeric nanoparticles. Specifically, these technologies have been designed to deliver compounds for a wide variety of compound properties and therapeutic applications, and have been demonstrated in the clinic. The nanotechnologies he developed were demonstrated in vivo for oral, topical, IV, and ocular administration. Much of the efforts on oral drug delivery were directed at the delivery of poorly soluble drugs. In addition, these nanotechnologies were formulated into solid dosage forms and subsequently successfully dosed in the clinic. Expert also has extensive experience in stability assessment, performance prediction, and process development for these nanotechnologies. Expert also has extensive project management experience, having led a group of 20 scientists in the development of nanotechnologies. He also has extensive experience in market/competitive analysis and prior-Art assessment for a variety of nanotechnologies and was involved in a broad evaluation and recommendation of existing nanotechnology for Pfizer.
