Freeze-Drying the Future: 43 Years of Innovation at OFD - Life Sciences Today Podcast Episode 40
We’re excited to be back for another episode of the Life Sciences Today Podcast by Healthcare IT Today. My guest today is Walt Pebley, Chief Scientific Officer at OFD Life Sciences. With over four decades in lyophilization, Walt Pebley has helped OFD become the gold standard in stabilizing probiotics, biologics, and therapeutics. His journey — from personal tragedy to pioneering new delivery platforms — highlights how freeze drying shapes the future of medicine, from shelf-stable powders to novel formats for pain, diabetes, and neurology drugs, food, and dietary supplements regulated by USDA/FDA.
Check out the main topics of discussion for this episode of the Life Sciences Today podcast:
