Higuchi discusses slow path to market for drug delivery tech
Higuchi notes that progressing a laboratory breakthrough to the market can take about ten years, with Lawrence as a hub for a reverse osmosis membrane coating used in a laser-penetrated tablet. He says Merck plans a similar dosage form with INTRx, while INTERx expands staff and equipment. He warns that main advances require patience and sustained basic research on drug absorption and controlled release. He stresses no quick solution for complex delivery and highlights ongoing interest from major pharma firms. The piece also references local obituaries and memorials, including Herbert L. Knabe and Donald H. Harding notices.
