International Journal of Product Development

 

Special Issue on: "Recent Advances and Innovative Research for Product Development in Pharmaceutical Sciences"

Guest Editor: Dr. Shivanand P. Puthli

The healthcare industry has witnessed unprecedented transformation recently. Pharmaceutical science has been revolutionised from the macro to the micro level and currently research is focused at the molecular level. The foundation of pharmaceutical research is based upon drug delivery, biopharmaceutics, transport, formulation process engineering, simulation and mathematical modelling. The quest for newer therapeutic alternatives and basic research has given birth to numerous strategies, many of which have been able to treat unmet medical needs. However, many challenging barriers have yet to be conquered.

The objective of this special issue is to focus on innovative and cutting edge research for product development in this multidisciplinary field. Emphasis will be on original research with focused attention on novelty and innovativeness.

Subject Coverage
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Delivery of drugs and biotech molecules
• Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and radiopharmaceutics
