The Catalent Applied Drug Delivery Institute has entered into a collaboration with the Department of Pharmacy Practice at Rutgers University to identify and address specific challenges of pediatric formulation and drug delivery.

This collaboration will allow for research into the development and administration of medicines to children, including the prevalence of extemporaneous compounding of drug products for ease of administration to pediatric patients and any safety and efficacy consequences.

The goal of the collaboration is to identify therapies and diseases for which there is a high need for pediatric-friendly formulations and to build awareness and advocate for targeted translational research to address the specific needs of this patient group.
