Colorcon
The International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC) has awarded a research prize to the Chief Scientific Officer of Colorcon, Ali Rajabi-Siahboomi.
Rajabi-Siahboomi is also VP of the Philadelphia-based company, which develops oral dose technologies for clients.
He was given the Industry Research Achievement in Excipient Technology Award for work on oral drug delivery systems.
Rajabi-Siahboomi said as medical technology advances and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) become more complex, excipients must also become more sophisticated.
His work at Colorcon has involved developing and characterising various polymers used for immediate and modified release coatings and technologies, including barrier membrane coating, matrix applications and osmotic pump technology.
