At the May 23 Scientific Conference of the CPPR, Dinesh Choudhary from the lab group of Robin Bogner, won the Emerging Researcher Award named in honor of Steve Nail, co-founder of CPPR.
KinnariArte, from the lab group of QiTonyZhou at Purdue, LingZhu, from the lab group of RobinBogner, and ShipraMalik, recent graduate of the lab group of RamanBahal at UConnPharmacy all gave talks at the recent meeting of ISLFD in Chicago, IL. Kinnari also won the outstanding poster award at the one-day conference.
Lilly joins Alexion, Astrazeneca, ATS Life Sciences – Scientific Products, Glaxosmithkline, Genentech, Janssen, Roquette, and Sanofi on the CPPR Industrial Advisory Board. We look forward to Lilly’s participation in our quest to advance pharmaceutical processing. The funds that Lilly has committed to CPPR research are pooled with those of the other member companies. The funds support rigorous academic research into industrially relevant pharmaceutical processing research at the CPPR academic sites, with mentorship from representatives from CPPR companies.
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!
Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences published the report by CPPR faculty, Bodhi Chauduri and Robin Bogner, along with CPPR students, Bruna Minatovicz, Sameera Sansare, and Tanu Mehta on “Large-Scale Freeze-Thaw of Protein Solutions: Study of the Relative Contributions of Freeze-Thaw Concentration and Ice Surface Area on Stability of Lactate Dehydrogenase”.
