LFCS CONSORTIUM

The LFCS Consortium is a non-profit organization that sponsors and conducts research on lipid based drug delivery systems (LBDDS) for the oral administration of poorly water-soluble drugs... Inspired by Professor Colin Pouton's Lipid Formulation Classification System (first published in 2000 and in modified form in 2006; see Table 1 below), with the joint leadership of Capsugel, the LFCS Consortium has been established as a small, yet growing scientific community of industrial and academic professionals with a unique focus and expertise covering all scientific and technical aspects that relate to LBDDS, from formulation and in vitro characterization, to enhancement of in vivo bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds... The LFCS Consortium consisted of 7 leading academic institutions and 8 industrial partners from Australia, Europe, and the US.
