The pharmaceutics track focuses on the study of chemical and biophysical technologies used in drug formulation, delivery and targeting.

• You will learn fundamentals required for designing both traditional and complex state-of-the-art drug delivery systems (e.g. gene delivery).
• You will gain skills essential for the advancement of targeted drug therapies ranging from small molecules to proteins to genes.

Your research opportunities will include the formulation of biologically active molecules into optimal dosage forms, the development of novel drug delivery systems, and the delivery of complex new therapies to their site of therapeutic action.
