Overview

An Insight into PODD

The Conference Forum would like to thank everyone involved with the 5th Annual PODD, Partnership Opportunities in Drug Delivery event. We have already started planning the 6th annual event scheduled for October 27-28, 2016 at the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston.

This annual Boston-based conference is designed with three purposes:

1. To present a strategic level program for pharma and biotech business development professionals with a thorough overview of the latest drug delivery technologies available along with an update on deals and opportunities to improve therapies and extend the life cycle of a drug.
2. To provide drug delivery and specialty pharmas with a platform to present their technologies and get the latest insights on what the delivery and formulation needs are.
3. To offer ample networking time, facilities and services for one-on-one meetings to establish new business contacts and enhance existing ones.

The 5th annual event was chaired by Barbara Lueckel, PhD, Global Business Development Director, Roche and keynoted by Robert Langer, PhD, David H.Koch Institute Professor, MIT. Also chairing at the 2015 program were Moderna’s CEO,Stéphane Bancel and MedImmune’s SVP, Biopharmaceutical Development, Gail Wasserman, PhD. We look forward to updating the PODD community with 2016 keynotes and more details on the agenda in the new year. In the meanwhile, take a look at the 2015 agenda to gain an understanding of the level and breath of our content.

The ultimate goal for PODD is to foster a meeting place that inspires innovation and advancement of drug development and delivery as well as providing support for the leaders behind the movement. Let us know if you would like to be part of the event. Contact us at service@tcfllc.org.
