Background

Dr. Nicole Wyttenbach is currently working at F. Hoffmann – La Roche Ltd. in Basel (Switzerland) as a Senior Principal Scientist in the field of drug delivery and preformulation sciences. She graduated as a pharmacist in 1995 at the University of Basel and obtained her PhD at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zürich) in 2000. Nicole Wyttenbach joined the preformulation group at Roche in 2000. Over the past 20 years, she specialized in pharmaceutical profiling and formulation of new chemical entities for oral delivery and developed new assays and strategies for physicochemical property determination in a variety of areas such as solubility, compatibility, solid-state forms or amorphous solid dispersions. She is author/co-author of several publications in peer reviewed journals, book chapters and patents.
