A recent paper authored by Dr. Rui Fang, UConn graduate now at Merck, describing her CPPR project findings was one of eight selected from the 70 papers in the second quarter of Journal of Pharmaceutical Science to be available in its Virtual Issue: Most Original and Most Significant Scientific Findings. CPPR Faculty at Purdue University, Dr. Greg Knipp, also has a paper in the same virtual issue. Read more at https://jpharmsci.org/most-original.
CPPR Faculty, @BodhiChaudhuri, and his research team report on the formulation parameters required for printability of tablets using inkjet processing. They suggest several preformulation studies to assure printability and tablet performance.
