Lois Slator is an innovative and responsible Senior Scientist at Philips, using her knowledge in drug delivery to the lungs to improve the health of individuals. She recognises how living with a respiratory condition (as 1 in 8 people globally are) can define every aspect of their lives. Whilst her focus is on aerosol science, she also emphasises the need to satisfy the user’s requirements. She was the aerosol subject matter expert on the team that designed and now manufactures the Innospire Go, Philips’s mesh nebuliser, which has a user rating of 4.8 stars out of 5 and is licenced for use around the world. She also fuels a culture of continuous improvement in her workplace, pushing for the best solution.
She is an active member of the drug delivery to the lungs research community, representing Philips in the European Pharmaceutical Aerosol Group (EPAG) and the UK Centre for Doctoral Training.
She received a master’s degree in Chemistry from Imperial College London, with an emphasis on physical and analytical chemistry. Her current research is focussed on establishing more clinically relevant in-vitro test methods for respiratory drugs, as a PhD candidate at the University of Hertfordshire.
Lois currently lives in Southampton, UK with her husband and 2 daughters, where they spend weekends rollerblading and completing ambitious projects for school.
