The concept of healthspan has recently gained new attention in the pharma industry and rightfully so, given the surprisingly large chasm in the U.S. between average years lived (77.5) and average years lived in good health (63.9). Facing a growing demographic of unhealthy seniors, a handful of innovative biotechs are reframing the longevity discussion: Rather than treat the symptoms of aging one disease at a time, what if we could instead focus on the root causes, enabling treatment of multiple chronic diseases simultaneously? 

During this podcast, Chief Content Director Karen Langhauser will share a summary of our most recent cover story, discussing the compelling new research and novel genetic medicines that may help close the gap between healthspan and lifespan.

By integrating a Quality by Design (QbD) approach, developers can design robust packaging from the outset,  drastically reducing development time and costs. Understanding how moisture affects a product is key, allowing developers to use industry-accepted and validated models to predict and address potential stability issues early in the design phase, thereby reducing the need for prolonged probe stability testing and potential reformulations or packaging redesign. 

To understand more about the issues at hand, senior editor Andrea Corona recently spoke with Adrian Possumato, president and Chris Gilmor, director of sales, at Sanner of America.
