Synopsis
My research interests are in analytical drug detection development, drug interactions, and free radical initiation of drug decomposition. The stability of a drug in a variety of dosage forms under the many conditions of administration to the patient, prolonged storage under a myriad of climatic conditions, and admixture with other drugs and diluents is often unknown or, at best, based on conjecture with limited experimental evidence. Using modern analytical and instrumental techniques (infrared, high performance liquid and gas chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, etc.) studies of the relative stability and compatibility of various drugs and admixtures are being studied.Publications & Presentations
