About Us
Micropore has over 100 years of accumulated expertise in the formulation of drug product delivery systems. In pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals this covers the full range from relatively simple trans-dermal emulsion systems to the most complex and demanding micro- and nano-particle injectables. Our expertise, together with our patented technology, enables us to reduce costs, shorten development times and improve performance.
We can help you engineer your ideal delivery formulation whatever the mechanism you choose:
- Nanoparticles
- Microspheres
- Microcapsules
- Emulsions
- Double emulsions
We value working in close partnership evaluating both your formulation and process to achieve the optimal delivery system. We work up to the point where GMP becomes a requirement and then, to ensure a smooth technology transfer, work with you directly or with your chosen manufacturing partner.
Micropore’s expertise is also relevant to a range of other market sectors, where high quality, cost-effective formulated products are required.
Our History
Our patented technology was invented by Professor Richard Holdich, former Head of the Chemical Engineering Department at LoughboroughUniversity in the UK.
Micropore Technology Limited was established in 2003 to commercialise this unique new technology and in 2016 relocated from the East Midlands in 2016 to the Wilton Centre on Teesside, in the north east of England, to take advantage of the formulation knowledge base and supply chain, employable skill base and calibre of investors in this well-established UK chemical cluster.
The company’s connection with Loughborough remains strong today, with the University maintaining an equity in the business and Dr Marijana Dragosavac, current Senior Lecturer within Loughborough’s Chemical Engineering department, holding the position of Chief Scientific Officer for Micropore.
