Advanced Pharmaceutical Formulation University of Birmingham Pharmaceutical Sciences Delivery Mode: In person (one week) Assessment: Examination and assignment Specialised Module 10 Credits Why is this Module important? What does this Module cover? New active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) increasingly present challenges to the formulator. This module introduces students to advanced pharmaceutical formulation and provides specialist knowledge in formulation for more complex drugs including poorly soluble APIs and biological therapeutics. The module covers (i) formulation for immediate release tablets and controlled release products for both oral and parenteral (including inhaled) drug delivery; (ii) the use of nanotechnology and other specialist delivery platforms to better target drug products following administration; (iii) a patient centred approach to formulation design. The module covers the following topics: Who is this Module suitable for? Formulation of peptide and protein therapeutics Students engaged in pharmaceutical formulation development, or those requiring a more detailed understanding of formulation challenges who have previous experience and/or training in the area via the relevant foundation or core modules or equivalent. Formulation of long acting parenteral systems Nanotechnology as a tool to enhance drug delivery Advanced formulation strategies to deliver anticancer agents How will students benefit? Students engaged in formulation development, or those requiring a better understanding of formulation challenges, will gain valuable expertise which can be used in their day-to-day work to choose and design formulation strategies. Patient-centred formulation development (including devices) What will the student learn? On completion of the module students will be able to: Discuss the choice of formulation strategy to deliver a poorly soluble drug via the oral route and provide examples of common formulations Describe technologies used to deliver controlled release injectable products with a long duration of action Understand the benefits of nanotechnology to deliver therapeutic agents Discuss the many technologies used in the delivery of anticancer agents and understand why particular formulations are favoured for specific drugs Understand the role of the end user (patient) in the appropriate design of pharmaceutical formulations For more information about the Modular Masters or to apply please email [email protected] or call 01925 515 200. www.cogentskills.com
