ABOUT ALEX SLOWEY

I qualified as a Pharmacist in July 1997, and have over 25 years experience in the pharmaceutical industry. As a trained Agile Product Owner and Scrum Master, I like to be challenged and to work proactively to innovate and find novel solutions where existing limitations prevent progress.Since November 1997, I have held various roles within the R&D function at Kindeva Drug Delivery (formerly 3M Drug Delivery Systems), which have given me a broad footing in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in relation to the research and development activities required to get a new product from initial feasibility to registration. I am specialised in early phase development activities related to the formulation of new molecules for nasal and pulmonary delivery. I have significant expertise in a number of key areas, these include providing technical and project leadership to development programmes. I have developed expertise in particle engineering, with direct application to the delivery of molecules by the pulmonary route via pMDIs and DPIs. Areas of interest include spray drying, freeze drying and powder blending. I also have clinical expertise, particularly with respect to clinical trials of metered dose inhalers.I take an active role on the steering committee of the international Drug Delivery to the Lungs Conference.I sit on various boards and advisory panels for universities in the UK and have supervised various PhD programmes. Specialties: Project leadership. Particle engineering. Formulation of pressurised metered dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers. MDI clinical studies.
