Alejandro Zaffaroni, a Uruguayan serial entrepreneur, transformed drug delivery systems. He co-founded ALZA Corporation in 1968, pioneering controlled drug delivery methods. His innovations included transdermal patches, thin films for glaucoma treatment, and contraceptive devices. ALZA’s products, such as Transderm-Scop® for motion sickness and Transderm-Nitro® for angina, improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Zaffaroni’s foresight led to over 40 FDA-approved transdermal products. His impact extended beyond ALZA, with companies like Affymax and Symyx Technologies. In 1995, he received the National Medal of Technology for his contributions to pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
