About this Event
Breakfast & Learn:
Smaller, Smarter, Simpler - Rethinking Drug Product Development
In this Breakfast & Learn session, we will share real-world case studies for both small molecules and biologics to explore how formulation strategies can reduce pill burden, enable more convenient administration routes, and ultimately improve patient compliance. The session is designed as an informal forum for learning, discussion, and networking within the Leiden life science ecosystem and is open to biotech and pharma professionals as well as interested scientists and students.
Join us in person for a laid-back morning of coffee, breakfast, and fresh ideas!
