Fifty-three industrial scientists, faculty, and students gathered to exchange ideas, report on ongoing projects, present proposals, and give final reports on May 23 at University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT. Process advancements in freezing, drying, spraying, mixing, cryopreservation, crystallization, and continuous granulation of small molecular drugs and many biologics were presented.
CPPR student, Shipra Malik, was awarded the 2022 Outstanding Student Researcher by the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Technology and Education. Shipra, a student at the University of Connecticut in Raman Bahal’s lab, joins previous CPPR students, Dana Moseson and Shreya Kulkarni, who won this award in 2019 and 2020. 
On November 7-9, faculty, industrial scientists, students and guests met in person at Purdue University to discuss research proposals and ongoing research on innovations in pharmaceutical processing of small and large molecular therapeutics. Everyone was thrilled to view the students posters and hear the proposal presentations in person after 5 meetings and 2.5 years of meeting virtually!
