Dr. Michael A. Repka is Distinguished Professor of the Department of Pharmaceutics at The University of Mississippi. He is also Founder and Director of the Pii Center for Pharmaceutical Technology. His research interests include the solubilization and delivery of poorly soluble bioactives via Hot Melt Extrusion (HME) technology, while coupling HME techniques with 3D printing to produce patient centric delivery systems . Dr. Repka has established himself as an expert in this major pharmaceutical processing field through his numerous peer-reviewed publications, presentations and scientific talks.
Dr. Nigel Langley is currently the Global Technical Director, Life Sciences at Gaylord Chemical LLC. He has a strong interest in excipient innovation, solubilization, hot melt extrusion and 3D printing. Dr. Langley has also worked at BASF and Croda International PLC and is the current Chair of IPEC-Americas.
This book is an educational text and guide for the use and properties of key polymeric excipients in the area of 3D printing in drug development. It is written by both industry experts and academic researchers. The particular focus is on hot melt extrusion and the extruded filaments suitable for optimizing the 3D printing in drug development. 3D Printing Polymeric Excipients, Technology, and Drug Formulation Development covers regulatory aspects as well as the manufacturing aspects.
