The most valuable thing about being in a research consortium is not the funding. It is the people who end up standing next to you at the bench for months at a time.

For a few months now, Daniele Veclani and Andrea Trifoglio from Isof CNR have been working alongside our team as part of the BICYCLOS project.

Projects like BICYCLOS create the conditions for mentorship and cross-institutional learning that benefit everyone involved. The visiting researchers gain an industry-side perspective on formulation and development thinking, and our team gains exposure to the analytical and mechanistic depth that academic groups like Isof CNR bring to the table.
Innovation in cyclodextrin science does not move forward in isolation. It moves forward when people who think differently end up in the same lab, working on the same problem for long enough that something real comes out of it.

Grateful to have Daniele and Andrea with us and curious to see where the work goes next.
