SUMMARY:Webinar Registration: Spray Drying for Formulations
DESCRIPTION:David York on…Spray Drying for Formulations\nFree Webinar: Friday 26th February 2016 13.00-13.30 GMT. \nIn association with the University of Leeds.  \nSpray drying is an extremely versatile technique which can be applied equally well to small volumes of materials such as pharmaceuticals as it can to large volume products such as foodstuffs. For the formulator\, using spray drying offers a unique opportunity to engineer particulate solids to give the desired processing and application properties. \nProfessor David York will be the speaker in our latest free webinar. David became Professor of Structured Particulate Materials at the University of Leeds in 2012 after a long career in senior roles at P&G where he was responsible for process and product development. David has a long-standing scientific interest in spray drying. \nIn the webinar you will gain a concise overview of:\n– why you should choose spray drying\n– the basic science of spray drying\n– what equipment is used\n– how particles can be engineered \nWe will also provide details of the short upcoming course “Spray Drying and Atomisation of Formulations” to be held at the University of Leeds from 12th-14th April 2016. \nIf you do not wish your contact details to be passed to our webinar partner for communication purposes\, please enter “no” in the appropriate box on the registration form. \nFor any other enquiries\, e-mail info@iformulate.biz. \n[register_free_webinar webid=140178219 pageid=1620]

SUMMARY:Webinar: iFormulate Introduces...Design of Experiments for Formulators
DESCRIPTION:12th July 2018 – 12.30PM BST \nThis webinar has now taken place. Follow this link to view the recording.  \nFormulations are complex products with multiple components and phases. As formulators\, we also have to balance several performance properties to deliver the optimum product. No wonder that the traditional “one variable at a time” approach to product optimisation often fails. \nIn this free webinar we are joined by Dr Paul Murray and we’ll provide you with a brief overview of the benefits of statistical design of experiments for formulations and an introduction to the types of design commonly used. \nIf you are interested in learning more about the use of Design of Experiments for Formulators\, then take a look at our brand new two-day course of the same name. The course takes place on 4th-5th December and more details including registration options can be found here. \nThe iFormulate data protection and privacy policy can be found here. \nIf you want to add or update your details on our mailing list just go here.

SUMMARY:Webinar Registration: iFormulate introduces Malcolm McKechnie on Open Innovation Across Sectors
DESCRIPTION:This webinar has already taken place and registration is closed. However a recording can be viewed here.  \nFree Webinar: Friday 11th December 2015\, 12.30 GMT \nIf you’ve ever considered looking outside your own organisation for new ideas to boost your R&D\, or if you’ve thought about collaborative innovation activities then you’ve probably come across the principles of Open Innovation (OI). External partnerships can really help bring in new ideas\, opportunities\, technologies and understanding into your organisation. But what are the best ways of engaging in OI\, what are the common pitfalls and how do you avoid them? \nIn our latest “iFormulate introduces” webinar to be held on 11th December\, we are pleased to introduce Dr Malcolm McKechnie (one of iFormulate’s Associate Partners). Malcolm will start by explaining the principles and benefits of Open Innovation but also show how it can work very effectively across sector boundaries. \nIn the second part of the webinar\, Dr Jim Bullock of iFormulate will outline two case studies where iFormulate has facilitated novel multi-partner Open Innovation activities which have benefited clients in the pharmaceutical and related sectors. \nMalcolm McKechnie brings a wealth of expertise in Open Innovation and technology sourcing to iFormulate. With the experience gained from technology sourcing roles in pharma and FMCG at Reckitt Benckiser as well as outwardly facing technology responsibilities at BP and Brewing Research International\, Malcolm is uniquely well positioned to assist you with your innovation challenges.

SUMMARY:iFormulate Speaking at ChemUK 2024
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announced that Jim Bullock of iFormulate will be speaking once again at ChemUK 2024\, the UK’s leading exhibition for the Chemical Industry. This year\, Jim will be speaking on the topic “Formulating Biology – New Challenges for Chemists” at 13:00 on Wednesday 15th May on Stage 5. \nChemUK is a great place to meet up\, so if you’d like a chat\, contact us on info@iformulate.biz \n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			Register free for ChemUK 2024		\n			\n	\n\n\n\nHere’s a synopsis of Jim’s presentation: “The nature of modern formulated products is creating new challenges for formulation scientists. Traditionally\, formulators have been expected to take synthetic chemical entities and incorporate them into stable and effective formulations. Today the landscape is very different as sensitive biologically derived active components such as living microorganisms\, natural extracts\, enzymes\, peptides and RNA/DNA have grown hugely in importance across many industries in recent years. This creates particular challenges for the formulator who must ensure stability\, compatibility and optimum efficacy in the final product. These challenges have led to innovative solutions which formulators can apply and in this talk we will show examples from across several industries\, e.g. pharma\, agriculture\, consumer products and food”. \n
