Pharmaceutical Science & Technology Today

AIMS AND SCOPE
Pharmaceutical Science & Technology Today is the new monthly magazine for scientists and managers in the preclinical and pharmaceutical development research community.

In an ever more difficult economic climate it is now essential that drug development is performed as efficiently as possible to ensure the shortest time from discovery to market. Successful new approaches in drug discovery mean that pipelines are now burgeoning with drug candidates. These are often challenging to characterize and evaluate, and difficult to deliver to patients safely and effectively. Added to this, drug development is in an active phase of restructuring, with increasing outsourcing of workload and collaborative research to academic and industrial partners.

Pharmaceutical Science & Technology Today addresses these and other headline issues in the industry.

Key areas of pharmaceutical development covered by Pharmaceutical Science & Technology Today are:
High-throughput technology applications in preclinical assessment
In vitro-in vivo correlations
Formulation development
Biopharmaceutics/pharmacokinetics
