Melgardt de Villiers, associate professor (CHS), and Lian Yu, professor, in the Pharmaceutical Sciences Division, have been awarded funding from Bristol-Myers Squibb to support their drug delivery research.

Entitled the “Effect of Excipients on the Stability of Amorphous Drug-Polymer Solid Dispersions,” the study will investigate the stability of amorphous pharmaceutical formulations, a promising strategy for delivering an increasing number of poorly soluble drugs.
