West Foundation Scholarship has officially expanded to Ireland, with 2026 marking the inaugural year of the program in the country.
Testing and Verification for Combination Products
Upon completion of design output generation and formal design reviews, high-integrity testing and verification serve as the definitive technical proof of combination product device performance. Operating in alignment with FDA 21 CFR 820.30 and ISO 13485 standards, rigorous evidence is required to confirm that physical design outputs meet all technical design inputs. This phase follows a thorough framework that can be summarized in five stages.
Perspectives in Aseptic Manufacturing: Establishing a Container Closure System - Engineering for Integrity
A container closure system(CCS) is an engineered solution to protect drug product. It must maintain sterility, support container closure integrity, and perform consistently within automated fill/finish operations. And a comprehensive CCS strategy integrates materials science, equipment compatibility, contamination control, and scalability. Washed and sterilized bulk vials coming out of a depyrogenation tunnel and accumulating on a rotary table prior to filling.

Volunteer Spotlight- Kinston Team (Habitat for Humanity)
At West, our commitment to the community goes beyond our day-to-day work. The Kinston team had the pleasure of volunteering with Habitat for Humanity of Goldsboro-Wayne to celebrate their 25th anniversary and help with the McNair Heights development project. During the event, the team participated in the wall-raising ceremony, a significant milestone that marks the beginning of vertical construction on a project that is nearly three years in the making.
Beyond the Container: Materials and Technical Challenges in Parenteral Packaging
In parenteral packaging, compatibility is often one of the first considerations evaluated during development. However, compatibility alone does not guarantee success. A component may demonstrate acceptable compatibility with a drug formulation yet still introduce challenges if it cannot consistently support manufacturing, assembly, storage, transportation, and administration. When a packaging related challenge arises, the root cause is not always the primary container itself.
Syringe Performance and Drug Containment Risk: Why Plunger Performance Matters in Prefilled Syringes
As the use of pre‑filled syringes (PFS) and self‑administration devices continues to grow, syringe performance has become a critical factor in managing drug containment risk across the product lifecycle. While elastomer components may be designed and manufactured to high quality standards, they must also perform reliably within the syringe system—from fill/finish and storage, through global distribution, to final administration by the patient.
Considerations in Design and Development of Novel Combination Drug-Delivery Devices
Developing a novel (as opposed to utilizing a platform technology) drug delivery device is a complex, and highly iterative endeavor. There are several considerations to keep in mind, and West will be publishing a series of blog posts to detail those considerations; the first post in the series will focus on how to successfully land on the right problem definition and ensure appropriate scoping as that’ll have a significant impact on timelines, program cost, and realization of outcomes.
