Deanna MudieDeanna Mudie, Ph.D., is a Principal Scientist in Research and Development at Lonza. Her focus is on enabling bioavailability enhancing amorphous solid dispersions by developing dosage form platforms and in vitro dissolution methodologies to predict bioperformance. Deanna earned her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences and B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan. She has seven years of pre-doctoral experience at two large pharmaceutical companies developing and manufacturing oral dosage forms from pre-clinical to commercial scale.

Vivek ShahVivek Shah is a highly accomplished scientist with an academic background in pharmaceutical sciences and chemistry. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Ohio State University and then pursued a Master’s degree in Chemistry from Long Island University.
After completing his studies, Vivek began his professional career at Merck. He contributed to the development of new techniques, Direct Drug Analysis in Polymeric Implants DESI-MSI Imaging and using Mixed Reality in Pharmaceutical Development. His expertise with the Apparatus 4 helped drive dissolution studies for many different programs including a program that used an in-line NMR cryoprobe with the Apparatus 4.
Vivek’s expertise and contributions to the pharmaceutical industry have not gone unnoticed. He currently serves on the USP expert panel for In Vitro Product Performance and is an Executive Board member for the US Society of Pharmaceutical Dissolution Science, demonstrating his commitment to advancing the field of pharmaceutical sciences and his deep understanding of in vitro testing methodologies.
Currently, Vivek is leading the Pharma Services team for SOTAX in Massachusetts, where he continues to demonstrate his leadership and scientific acumen. In his current role, he has helped develop and validate groundbreaking in-vitro methods for complicated drug release programs.
