CPHI Pharma Awards Winners Driving Pharma’s Biggest Innovations
CPHI Worldwide, organised by UBM Live, has announced the winners of the 11th annual CPHI live Pharma Awards. The annual awards showcase outstanding developments and innovations from the pharma industry’s most dynamic and progressive players.
Open to the entire pharma industry, the awards honour companies that are driving the industry forward with thought leadership, unveiling top pharma innovators to global trade. In addition to returning annual award categories for ‘Formulation’, ‘Process Development’ and ‘Packaging’, a new category recognising ‘Innovation in Partnering’ debuts this year. Supported by Pharmaceutical Outsourcing magazine, this award honours partnering methods, use of technology, unexpected outcomes and unique partnering practices.
The awards panel deliberated for several hours over the impressive list of entries, before coming to the unanimous decision, selecting MJR PharmJet in the Formulation category; acib for Process Development; Locked4Kids for Packaging and Catalent for Partnering.
Formulation
The 2014 winner for Best Innovation in Formulation was won by MJR PharmJet GmbH for counter-on complexes for enhanced load in nanocarriers. MJR PharmJet has developed a technology that enables the drug loading of hydrophobic nanoparticles to be increased.
Packaging
Locked4Kids BV, the world's’ first child-resistant carton, won the Best Innovation in Packaging category. Until now, nobody has succeeded in developing a child-resistant carton box that is easily opened by seniors, inexpensive, suitable for mass production, available in multiple packaging sizes, and complies with relevant US and European standards.
Partnering
Catalent Pharma Solutions won the Partnering category for their collaboration with Redwood Bioscience. Together they developed bioconjugates that incorporate Redwood’s proprietary FGE/aldehyde tag technology and novel bioconjugation chemistry.
Process Development
This year’s CPHI Pharma Award for Best Innovation in Process Development was received by winner acib—"Enzyme-Google" discovers hidden possibilities of nature. Bio-based industries will be interested to learn of acib’s Catalophor System—a search engine including a database, which can discover enzyme functionalities that were previously undescribed.
Chris Kilbee, Group Director Pharma at UBM Live, extended his congratulations to all the finalists and commented: "Our Pharma Awards are an exceptional platform, providing the opportunity to highlight innovations within the industry that are set to drive the pharmaceutical marketplace. This year we added a new Partnering category, designed to showcase forward looking collaborative approaches within the industry. CPHI Worldwide is increasingly the hub for content and industry innovations".
