Gattefossé North America announces the recipient of the 2018 award for excellence

Gattefossé is pleased to announce that Professor Christel Bergström has been selected as the winner of the 2018 Award for Excellence in Research & Development with Lipid Excipients.

Following a thorough review of the submissions, this year’s seven-member Awards Committee has selected the work of Professor Christel Bergström (Department of Pharmacy, Uppsala University, Sweden) to receive the 2018 Gattefossé North America Award for Excellence in Research & Development with Lipid Excipients.

Professor Bergström is recognised for her work including: modeling approaches to predict drug solubility in lipidic systems based on molecular structure; molecular interactions between drug, dosage form and the complex gastrointestinal environment; the development of novel in-silico and in-vitro tools exploring rearrangement of lipoidal nanostructures and the impact of these nanostructures on drug solubilisation, supersaturation and likelihood of precipitation in-vivo processes of importance for drug absorption; and cell-based lipolysis-absorption models that help assess the importance of the paracellular route for transient permeability enhancers.

The achievements of Professor Christel Bergström will be recognised at a Gattefossé sponsored event in Washington, DC, where she is to receive a commemoration plaque and an honorarium of $10,000.
