Description of session (include background & scientific importance): Investigations comprising in vitro experiments, clinical studies, and more sophisticated mathematical approaches are considered to be necessary for elucidating the highly complex pulmonary processes. The inability to measure local lung concentrations responsible for lung efficacy is the main challenge common to any inhalation drug delivery program targeting the lungs. There is therefore a need to build improved mathematical models which can predict the fate of therapeutic agents administered to humans via the pulmonary route with the desired precision and reproducibility.
Learning Objectives:
• To understand the challenges in pulmonary drug deposition assessment
• Key factors relevant for pulmonary drug deposition modelling
• Different software being used in pulmonary drug deposition
