Overview

Partnership Opportunities in Drug Delivery (PODD) is back in person and promises to uphold its ten year tradition of combining partnering with access to cutting-edge business and scientific content in the field of drug delivery with loyal support from a top notch speaking faculty. PODD offers access to a wide range of drug delivery technologies and opens partnering before during and after the event. There will be a virtual option as well for attendees. 

About PODD  

Pharma, biotech and the drug delivery industries gather annually at PODD to assess delivery needs, latest trends and information on deals and learn about a wide range of innovative drug delivery technologies that could improve the delivery of various types of drugs. This can include proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, biologics, and small molecules and more. PODD provides business development opportunities through organized networking and a partnering tool for new, emerging and established collaborations. 

Presenting PODD in Person and Virtually
