Description

The course aims to provide students with insights and competencies related to the principles of pharmaceutical pre-formulation as a gateway to dosage forms design and formulation. Emphasis is placed on developing formulations based on the physical and chemical properties of the drug substance and the intended use of the drug product. The course also introduces the students to the formulation principles and applications of novel and targeted drug delivery systems by transforming proteins, genes, and other biotechnology driven compounds into therapeutic products. In addition to formulation aspects of biotechnology derived pharmaceuticals, it also covers the application of polymers and excipients to solve problems/issues concerning the optimization of absorption, selective transport, and targeting.
