Overview
IIIM pharmaceutical development team is experienced in formulation development of both small molecules and macromolecules into a diversity of formulation presentations. Preclinical formulation development for developing, manufacturing for preclinical pharmacology and GLP toxicology studies. Formulation expertise includes development of a wide variety of dosage forms appropriate for clinical trials and commercialisation. In support of these activities, we conduct formulation feasibility studies, scale-up studies and stability studies.
