2023 Gattefossé Canada/CSPS Award in Lipid-Based Drug Delivery
Gattefossé Canada is once again pleased to support scientific research in the field of Lipid-Based Drug Delivery (LBDD).
LBDD is a multi-disciplinary approach to improving drug delivery which focuses on the function of lipid systems (fatty acids, fatty acid esters, and or their assemblies) and their role in enhancing drug solubilisation, release profile (immediate or sustained), hence improved bioavailability. The science applies to a wide range of dosage forms in oral, topical, and other routes of administration.
Objective: To recognize outstanding research in pharmaceutical sciences by a graduate student for his/her work demonstrating progress in the field of LBDD, described above.
Award: A monetary award of $2,000.00 CAD conditional to the candidate attending the 2023 CSPS Symposium (Toronto, ON, May 24-26, 2023) to present a poster of his/her work.
