? pharmacokinetics
? the effect of route of administration and distribution on drug action
? in vivo imaging of dose forms: gamma scintigraphy, PET imaging NMR, MRI, etc.
? powder technology
? excipient design and characterization
? preformulation
? optimization techniques in pharmaceutical formulation and processing
? disperse and surfactant systems
? the solid state, tablet dosage forms, coating processes, and hard and soft shell capsules
