INTRODUCTION
FACULTY OF SPEAKERS: (Cont.)
This one day seminar has been designed to
enable delegates to understand the science
behind capsule-based inhalers. The programme
will provide a comprehensive overview of
capsule-based inhalers for dry powder inhalation.
It will consider various aspects of inhalation
capsules and powders and provide a state of the
art review of the technology available. This event
will be an excellent opportunity to discuss the use
of capsule-based inhalers and provide an informal
environment to network with fellow inhalation
professionals from industry and academia.

he received his Doctor of Philosphy (Ph.D) in drug
delivery from Aston University, UK. Upon
completing his Ph.D he went on to undertake a
Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University of New
Mexico in the Advanced Drug Delivery Laboratory
of Dr H Smyth, working in the area of dry powder
inhalation. He has been working in and has
published numerous papers in the area of
pulmonary drug delivery since 2006. His research
is aimed at developing novel delivery systems for
targeting therapeutic agents to their site of action,
with particular emphasis on lung diseases via dry
powder pulmonary delivery.

technical support to their capsule manufacturing
and filling operations and in providing a service
to their capsule customers in Europe, Asia, Africa
and North America and took early retirement in
1994. In Lilly he was involved in the development
of the first inhalation capsule in the late 1960s,
used in the Spinhaler® of Fisons, UK. His research
interests are in the properties of inhalation grade
hypromellose capsules and their use in dry powder
inhalers.
Dr Nour Kayali is a senior mass spectrometrist
