Objectives

• The fast-pacing pharmaceutical technology
  nowadays focuses on the development of novel
  delivery systems to optimize drug absorption or
  site-specific delivery of bioactive compounds
  unable to be effectively delivered by
  conventional dosage forms. Such novel systems
  include micro-/nano-particulate carriers,
  liposomes, drug-polymer conjugates, as well as
  various viral and non-viral vectors. These
  systems are utilized to facilitate membrane
  uptake of drugs, macromolecules, and genetic
  materials.
• The M.S. program in Pharmacy offered by the
  Department thus aims to orientate the students
  with the above trends by offering courses and
  training experiences in formulation development,
  stability evaluation, advanced drug delivery
  technology, biopharmaceutics and
  pharmacokinetics. The prospective students also
  have a choice to conduct research in their
  particular area of interest such as drug delivery
  systems development, bioavailability and
  bioequivalence studies, pharmacokinetic research,
  as well as development of products based on
  natural resources for pharmaceutical,
  nutraceutical and cosmeceutical uses. The
  specific purposes of the program are
• 1. To produce qualified graduates with research
  experiences in the development of effective
  delivery systems for therapeutic (and cosmetic)
  purposes.
• 2. To create innovative knowledge in the field
  of pharmaceutical sciences to serve the
  scientific community through publication
