Hovione Launches Rapid Proof-of-Concept DPI Product Development Service
Hovione recently announced the launch of its Rapid Proof-of-Concept Study for the development of dry powder inhalation (DPI) products.

The results of this are reduced coordination costs, shortened development timescales, and a streamlining of the development process.
