Advanced Drug Delivery Systems (ADDS)

Research unit - U1008

Description

Our laboratory is interested in the field of controlled drug delivery. We are a multidisciplinary team with expertise in pharmacy, medicine, dentistry, materials science, mathematics and biology. We conduct interdisciplinary and translational research in the field of controlled drug delivery systems from the development of formulations, the study of their manufacturing processes, their in vitro and in vivo characterizations with a focus on mathematical modeling of the release process for the establishment of in vitro - in vivo correlation. Depending on the field, this activity is oriented towards clinical research (vascular prostheses, ENT) or towards industrial research (e.g.: development of innovative coating systems). We are open to all academic and industrial collaborations and propose services in line with our expertise.

Example(s) of projects

• Aquacoat ARC® (an innovative polymer film coating that can be used to prepare solid oral controlled release dosage forms, e.g. tablets or capsules) was commercialized in 2013.

• Development and commercialization in 2021 of new types of filtering and decontaminating masks that not only trap viruses, but also deactivate them. They reduce the viral load by 99.9% in less than 5 minutes. The process, called CIDALTEX®, is used today by the French company Bioserenity to manufacture these virucidal masks. 🡭
