We are excited to announce that PEVITAC will be an official partner for the 5th Virtual European Polymer Conference. It is a pleasure to have this wonderful event on our calendar, and we look forward to it! Do not hesitate to join this brilliant event for free by following this link:
The PEVITAC team successfully completed the ICURe Discover programme! Prof Vitaliy Khutoryanskiy and Dr Roman Moiseev learned a lot about value propositions and market research through this brilliant programme. The PEVITAC team is grateful to the ICURe Discover and Brilliant Red Digital teams for the opportunity to participate in this fantastic training!
We are attending an excellent UK Food & Drink Expo 2024 (N.E.C., Birmingham, England, UK). Feel free to catch up with us to discuss fruitful collaborations!
If you are at the Making Pharmaceuticals conference and exhibition held in Coventry today, you are very welcome to attend a presentation by Prof Vitaliy Khutoryanskiy about PEVITAC at 14.35 in room C. You will learn how to characterise your nanoparticles correctly using dynamic light scattering, how to evaluate the mucoadhesive properties of your formulations, and how live invertebrates can be used to characterise toxicological properties and the biological activity of chemicals. All these services are offered by PEVITAC.
As a company dedicated to advancing scientific research and development along with ethical regulations, we aim to develop new testing methods for various cosmetic formulations and chemicals using different invertebrate live models like slugs, flatworms, and daphnia. The PEVITAC team will be very grateful to gather your opinions and awareness regarding the use of invertebrate models in scientific research and testing cosmetics, highlighting ethical considerations, the reduction in vertebrate/mammal use, and the exploration of alternative research methods. Your responses will help us understand public perception and support our commitment to ethical and effective research practices:

The PEVITAC team was happy to attend the Biotech Buddies London 2024, an excellent event for making new business contacts! Special thanks to Graham Combe, Freeths and RSSL teams!
A new collaboration in ocular drug delivery has emerged following a letter published in Chemistry World (Royal Society of Chemistry) by Dr Nevin Stewart FRSC. This letter attracted the interest of Prof Vitaliy Khutoryanskiy, who contacted Dr Stewart. The two then met with Dr Roman V Moiseev and established a project on band keratopathy. They are set to commence this research project in January 2024, focusing on the effects of chelating agents on the cornea. The project is a promising venture in the understanding of band keratopathy. Additional details can be found following this link:
Prof Vitaliy Khutoryanskiy presented a short talk titled ‘Formulations with improved retention on mucosal surfaces and ex vivo methods to evaluate their adhesive properties’ at SCI Formulation Forum 5th Annual Event: design through characterisation and analysis held in London. This talk highlighted the use of fluorescence flow-through tests we offer at PEVITAC to evaluate the retention of pharmaceutical formulations on mucosal surfaces.
Prof Vitaliy Khutoryanskiy presented a talk titled ‘In vivo Invertebrate and Ex vivo Animal Tissue Models in Biomaterials Research’ at the 18th Annual Conference of the RSC Biomaterials Chemistry Interest Group held at the University of Loughborough. The talk highlighted some of the in vivo and ex vivo tests we offer at PEVITAC.
Warm holiday greetings from PEVITAC! As we celebrate the festive season and welcome the New Year, we extend our deepest gratitude to our valued clients and partners. Your support has been pivotal to this year’s success. We wish you all a merry Christmas and a prosperous 2024. Let’s continue to grow and succeed together. Happy Holidays!
In December 2023, Dr Roman Moiseev did a visiting researcher placement under the research programme entitled “Soft Biocompatible Polymeric NANOstructures: A Toolbox for Novel Generation of Nano Pharmaceuticals in Ophthalmology (Project Acronym: NanoPol – Project Number: 823883; principal investigator at Reading: Prof V Khutoryanskiy)” at the Institute of Polymer Materials and Technologies in Almaty (Kazakhstan). This two-week collaborative visit was financially supported by the EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) H2020-MSCA-RISE-2018. Various
The PEVITAC team was happy to host a visit from Kristian Gregory from Keyence Corporation, featuring a demonstration of the VHX digital microscope. It is a fantastic tool for imaging various objects, including polymer microneedles, microparticles, and even live planaria.
Prof Vitaliy Khutoryanskiy received the Certificate of Completion of the Royal Society Scientific Enterpreneurship Imperial College course. This was a fantastic opportunity to learn about different business cases of academic ventures, academic entrepreneurship as a way of technology commercialisation, founding teams,
how to protect your technology and the value of IP, find sources of finance, and communicate the business plan and early-stage financing
presentation skills.
