SCIENTIFIC TRACKSPharmaceutical Chemistry and Engineering

Breadcrumb

The Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Engineering track focuses on drug formulation, development, and delivery.

Areas of emphasis include:

  • the application of physical, physical-organic, and analytical chemistry to solve pharmaceutical problems,
  • the design, development, and optimization of dosage forms for small and large molecules, and
  • fundamental research in materials science and nanotechnology to advance drug delivery systems design.

Collaborations with faculty in the UK College of Engineering provide additional opportunities for a combined pharmaceutical and engineering research program. In addition, faculty participate in pre-clinical and/or clinical projects through collaborative relationships within the College of Pharmacy and with investigators across the UK Medical Center Complex.

We wish to remember and honor those who inhabited this Commonwealth before the arrival of the Europeans. Briefly occupying these lands were the Osage, Wyndott tribe, and Miami peoples. The Adena and Hopewell peoples, who are recognized by the naming of the time period in which they resided here, were here more permanently. Some of their mounds remain in the Lexington area, including at UK’s Adena Park.

In more recent years, the Cherokee occupied southeast Kentucky, the Yuchi southwest Kentucky, the Chickasaw extreme western Kentucky and the Shawnee central Kentucky including what is now the city of Lexington. The Shawnee left when colonization pushed through the Appalachian Mountains. Lower Shawnee Town ceremonial grounds are still visible in Greenup County.

We honor the first inhabitants who were here, respect their culture, and acknowledge the presence of their descendants who are here today in all walks of life including fellow pharmacists and healthcare professionals.Footer menu
