About
Leonie Wagner is a rising researcher at the forefront of pediatric pharmaceutical science, dedicated to improving drug acceptability for children. Her key research areas center on the development and evaluation of solid oral dosage forms (SODFs), with a particular focus on enhancing the swallowability of mini-tablets. Wagner’s major contributions include pioneering a novel soft robotic pediatric in vitro swallowing device, which provides unprecedented insights into the biomechanics of how children swallow mini-tablets. This work, published in 2022 and garnering 13 citations, represents a significant methodological advance, offering a more ethical and reproducible alternative to human trials. She has further expanded this field by investigating how binary mixtures of mini-tablets with pellets can improve in vitro swallowability, addressing the critical challenge of palatability and dosing volume for combination products. Though early in her career, Wagner’s innovative approach to pediatric formulation design is already shaping how researchers assess and optimize oral drug delivery for young patients, promising safer and more acceptable treatments.
