MedPharm Ltd, the world’s leading contract service provider of contract topical and transdermal product design and formulation development services, has launched its Scientific Advisory Committee, headed by company founder and Board member, Professor Marc Brown. Marc Brown has served as MedPharm’s Chief Scientific Officer for over 20 years and will be stepping down from his CSO role to chair the newly formed committee.

With his support as chair of the Scientific Advisory Committee, we will continue our pioneering standard and remain the world leader in the topical and transdermal CDMO field, commented Eugene Ciolfi, President & CEO. “Jon is the perfect individual to step into the CSO role.
