Sandoz Device Development Centre (SDDC) is the Cambridge-based medical device design and development centre of Sandoz, a global leader in generic and biosimilar medicines. We help millions of patients around the world access affordable healthcare.
SDDC designs and develops drug delivery systems to support the commercialisation of Sandoz's portfolio of drug products. Our Device Engineering team has deep expertise in designing, analysing, building, testing, and optimising high-volume, injection-moulded drug delivery devices.
