Adverse drug reactions are a major cause of hospitalisation, even death. Understanding drug delivery systems, even the creation of new systems, for sure the understanding of pharmogenomic profiling, can be a major force in drug efficacy and safety.
This is what the research interests of Dr Barbara Conway, a Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutics at Aston University are about. main research interests — how to optimise the delivery of drugs, using formulation design to improve solubility and dissolution profiles, bioavailability, drug stability, mechanical properties and in vitro-in vivo correlations.
