Mobilizing the respiratory world in Asia
Building on the successes of previous RDD conferences in the U.S., Europe and Asia, RDD Asia 2018 is recognized as one of the premium international meetings in the area. Co-organized with RDD Online, the RDD Asia 2018 conference seeks to connect industrial and academic scientists, clinicians, regulators and business professionals in Asia with their international counterparts, to collectively advance patient treatments in inhaled and nasal drug delivery.
RDD Asia 2018 presenters will summarize recent developments and trends as well as offer their expert insights to stimulate new thinking and ideas amongst attendees. More than 200 delegates from Asia and beyond are expected to attend.
This stimulating scientific environment helps serve as a bridge to foster support for academic collaboration, international regulatory harmonization and commercial developments across continents.
Aptar Pharma leading the way in decoding FDA guidance on Combination Products
In addition to co-organizing the conference and exhibiting, Aptar Pharma will host an interactive workshop on Thursday 15th November addressing the most recent FDA guidance on Combination Products, with a focus on respiratory and nasal drug products.
