Researchers from all areas of freeze drying of pharmaceuticals and biologicals converge to discuss emerging technologies,
alternatives to conventional freeze drying, mathematical modelling of freeze drying, formulation science and materials characterization,
and best practices in freeze drying operations. Networking and information exchange are enhanced by the relaxed setting, social events, and focused fellowship.
Steve Nail and Greg Sacha, distinguished researcher in the science of freeze drying, present a short course primarily intended for those new to the subject, giving insight into basic physics of freeze drying, process monitoring, materials characterization, formulation science and more, spiced with personal anecdotes from many years of practical experience.
