J&J | Beyond the needle: enabling oral delivery of macromolecules

25 November 2026, Utrecht (NL) & virtual

Johnson & Johnson invites innovators and ecosystem partners to “Beyond the needle,” a hybrid event exploring technologies for the oral delivery of macromolecules, including peptides and proteins. The program will consider key development challenges such as gastrointestinal stability, permeability, food effects, exposure variability and manufacturability.

Experts from academia, biotech and pharmaceutical R&D will share perspectives on emerging approaches, remaining technology gaps and opportunities for collaboration. Join us in Utrecht or virtually and register here.
