The Future of Excipients in Drug Development: AI, Lipids & Next-Generation Formulation Strategies
October 7, 2026
Excipients are playing an increasingly important role in solving some of today’s most complex drug formulation and delivery challenges.
In this Expert Insights Special Feature, Drug Development & Delivery’s Amy Nicklaus sits down with Managing Editor Cindy Dubin to explore the latest trends shaping excipient and formulation development.
Discover how artificial intelligence is helping formulators identify suitable excipients and predict stability, solubility, dissolution, bioavailability, and performance earlier in development. The discussion also explores the growing role of multifunctional excipients, lipid-based excipients for challenging APIs and oral peptide delivery, next-generation polymers, and the increasing interest in naturally derived and cleaner-label ingredients.
Watch the interview for a preview of the trends, technologies, and formulation strategies featured in Drug Development & Delivery’s latest Excipients Special Feature—and learn how excipient innovation is helping developers address increasingly complex drug molecules and delivery challenges.
