Our overall goal is to enhance the drug delivery through the use of amorphous solid dispersion and lipid-based nanoparticles. Of particular interests are the thermodynamic and kinetic phase behaviours of these systems and associated advanced manufacturing platforms. We are also extremely passionate about moving the design and process of pharmaceutical formulation into a predictive science through the establishment of suitable Process Analysis tools.
