About
Services

What we do

Our core service is the development of novel polymer excipients and drug delivery technologies. We’re a trusted partner that can help with everything from preclinical development, drug delivery, manufacturing and intellectual property.

Why choose Tyndall?

Hundreds of new polymer biomaterials are prepared by researchers each year. Yet, only a handful of these new materials are ever administered to patients. The truth is, the development of new polymer excipients has been extraordinarily limited in the past.  

 

Tyndall has developed a series of novel polymer excipients capable of encapsulating a wide array of hydrophobic therapeutic molecules with proven success. We have demonstrated that our novel polymer excipients can be safely administered at doses over ten times greater than anticipated doses.

Benefits of our water-soluble polymer excipients:

  • Non-immunogenic and biodegradable

  • Superior performance with drug loading efficiencies >90%

  • Straightforward, scalable manufacturing/formulation processes

  • Can cause fewer side effects 

  • GMP manufacturing scheduled to begin in early 2020

  • GLP toxicology studies scheduled to begin in early 2020

  • Adheres to FDA standards, with the first-in-man use anticipated in 2020

Tyndall also plans to submit Drug Master Files for each excipient with FDA in 2021 to support the wide use of our novel polymer excipients by our current and future clients.

At Tyndall Formulation Services, he is responsible for the strategic development of formulation products and leading projects for the company’s current pharmaceutical partner’s asset development.

Dr. Sill has managed hundreds of intellectual property dockets, co-invented 27 issued US patents and 61 international patents, and co-authored 23 articles in peer-reviewed publications. He was also named “Young Innovator of the Year” by R&D Magazine.

 

In 2004, Dr. Sill co-founded Intezyne Technologies, a privately held corporation focused on developing breakthrough cancer therapies. He became Chief Science Officer, leading the development of the company’s nanoparticle delivery technology from conception to clinical trial. In 2011, he became a registered US patent agent to strengthen Intezyne’s intellectual property program.

 

Dr. Sill became Intezyne’s Chief Executive Officer in 2015 where he secured $10 million in Series A institutional funding, acquired a biotechnology company, and implemented a corporate restructure to shift the company’s focus to clinical development. He also negotiated corporate contracts for manufacturing, clinical trial, research and material transfer agreements.
