Dr. Plassat's session, on February 10th at 10.25 a.m., is entitled "Accelerating the development of compounds with bioavailability limitations" and will discuss the development of orally-delivered, lipid-based systems that can be used to improve the bioavailability of New Chemical Entities that offer therapeutic promise for patients, but exhibit limiting physico-chemical attributes for conventional, solid oral dose delivery.

Dr. Plassat joined Catalent in 2013, initially as a formulation scientist, drawing upon his experience in lipid-based softgel development for the oral delivery of macromolecules, before becoming Scientific Affairs Manager. Prior to joining Catalent, he worked at OTR3, a Paris-based startup company, developing targeted therapies.

Dr. Plassat is a pharmacist, and received a Ph.D. from the University of Paris Sud in Pharmaceutical Technologies.
