About

Susanna White is a Mechanical Engineer at SMC Ltd, with over a decade of experience in the design and test programmes for SMC’s innovative autoinjector technology platforms. Much of her work has focused on the study of highly viscous and non-Newtonian drug formulations – using numerical modelling techniques in combination with experimental investigation to achieve the most appropriate delivery system for challenging formulations.

Ms White graduated from the University of Cambridge (UK) with a master’s degree in Engineering for the Life Sciences.

USING POLYMERIC PDC TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE AUTO-INJECTOR DESIGN

The limitations of using glass-based auto-injectors, such as contamination, and the need for delivering complex, viscous preparations, have led to a new approach that uses polymeric PDC technology instead. Jonathan Lawson, Jonathan Bradshaw and Susie White look at what polymeric PDCs can offer in making auto-injectors truly patient-centric.
