Lead physicochemical and solid-state characterisation of DS and DP
Conduct impurity profiling and forced degradation studies per ICH Q3A/Q3B
Characterise Gel and Patch products: rheology, release rate, drug migration, adhesion, and skin permeation
Profile Peptide APIs: identity, purity, aggregation, and sequence confirmation
Support DPI characterisation: APSD via NGI/ACI, fine particle fraction, and blend uniformity
Bioassay Support
Support development and qualification of bioassay methods for potency and biological activity
Review and interpret bioassay data for batch release and stability
Stability Studies
