The current use of high speed machinery in the pharmaceutical industry dictates
that the pharmaceutical scientist must be cognizant of the physical and chemical
properties of drugs and other adjuvants used in pharmaceutical dosage forms. Our
research has focused on controlled release technologies and polymeric drug delivery
systems. Our current research emphasis is concerned with the microencapsulation
of peptides and proteins, aqueous film coating of beads, tablets and soft gelatin
capsules, hot-melt extrusion, and compaction properties of tablets and extruded
beads. Analytical techniques including HPLC, GPC, DSC and X-ray diffraction are
routinely used in our investigations to characterize stability and other important
properties of raw materials and the finished dosage form.
