Great ISAMs

In this episode of the Great ISAMs podcast, organizer Sabine Häussermann and visitor Ronan MacLoughlin share memories of the 2015 Munich Congress. Discussing progress and setbacks in e-health, scratching the surface of Quality by Design and delving into drug delivery to patients on mechanical ventilation. And we learn how Ronan got daily inspiration from the coffee machine at the Munich congress and what that has to do with his later inventions regarding inhaled vaccination.
