Guy Van den Mooter (°1964) obtained his Ph.D. in 1994 (university of Leuven ‐ KU Leuven,

pharmaceutical technology). Following a position as scientist at Janssen Research Foundation, he obtained a post‐doctoral position at the laboratory for Pharmacotechnology and Biopharmacy at the university of Leuven. In 1999 he was appointed as assistant‐professor, and since 2009 he is full professor at the faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the Drug Delivery and Disposition research group. The focus of his research group is the formulation, process development and physical chemistry of drug‐polymer solid dispersions, nanocrystals and mesoporous silica drug delivery systems. The main objective is to explore the relationship between the formulation, the process applied and the performance in terms of stability and drug release. He has published over 200 scientific papers in international peer‐reviewed journals.

He teaches courses of pharmaceutical technology, preformulation and physical chemistry in

undergraduate and graduate programs. He is coordinator of the master program in industrial pharmacy.

He is member of the Belgian Pharmacopeia commission and member of the editorial board of several scientific journals. In 2007, he founded FORMAC Pharmaceuticals, a drug delivery company focused on the formulation of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients using unique mesoporous silica materials.
