Patton has been one of the most influential scientists in the field of respiratory drug delivery and is a champion in the field of pulmonary delivery of large molecules and biologics. He has published more than 100 publications, has more than 40 patents, and has founded or co-founded six drug delivery companies, including iPharma Labs, a company that Kindeva acquired in 2022.

“John’s research and development expertise, coupled with the myriad publications he authored, have helped pave the way for respiratory delivery to be utilized by researchers and companies for the treatment of other diseases,” said Kindeva’s Global Chief Commercial Officer, David Stevens. “John’s passion and conviction with respect to the applications of drug delivery to and through the lungs, and in particular his pioneering work progressing pulmonary delivery of biologics, has been nothing short of inspiring. John has made and continues to make a tremendous contribution to both Kindeva and the wider industry. On behalf of all his colleagues at Kindeva, we congratulate John. It is a privilege to work alongside him and benefit from his technical vision and boundless enthusiasm for inhaled medicine.”

Kindeva’s application in inhaled biologics spans complex therapeutic treatments from local to deep lung (systemic) delivery — including lung fibrosis, asthma/COPD, cardiovascular, and infectious diseases — and encompasses a wealth of expertise in developing solutions that address insulin needs, cold chain requirements, and more.

SymphonyAI Launches Eight AI Applications Purpose-Built for Energy Asset Reliability and Operational Performance20.4.2026 07:09:00 CEST | Press release

Eight AI applications engineered for asset reliability, operational performance, and emissions obligations SymphonyAI, a global leader in Vertical AI platforms, today announced eight new industrial AI applications purpose-built for energy operators, marking the most targeted expansion of IRIS Foundry into the energy sector to date. Unlike generic asset management software, these applications are engineered around the specific failure modes, process dynamics, and regulatory obligations of energy and resources operations — compressor surge, heat exchanger fouling, pipeline integrity degradation, refinery unit yield loss, and the growing compliance burden of EU methane regulation and emissions reporting. By combining SymphonyAI’s deep industrial ontology with IRIS Foundry’s ability to unify IT, OT, and IoT data from historians, SCADA systems, inspection databases, and enterprise platforms into a single governed intelligence layer, the new suite delivers causal AI at the point where energy
