2016 a breakthrough year for ISAB
Dow Chemical Group and King’s College London (KCL) purchased PreciseInhale, and the number of client posters and publications validating the system grew rapidly. ISAB CEO Fredrik Sjövall explains why 2016 was a year of milestones.
“PreciseInhale, our dry powder technology, was bought by key players, whilst previous purchasers like Chiesi made major breakthroughs with its help,” says Fredrik Sjövall, “we have clearly put the first critical bricks in place, building a strong foundation for further growth. It is truly exciting to be part of bringing this technology into the future!”
Both KCL and Karolinska Institute have published key findings where PreciseInhale has played a central role—highlighting how the technology is gaining increasing scientific status and acceptance.
