Pharmaceutical Research

Pharmaceutical Research is an official journal of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists covering innovative research in drug discovery, development, evaluation, and regulatory approval. Current emphasis includes preformulation, drug delivery and targeting, formulation design, engineering and processing, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenomics, molecular biopharmaceutics and drug disposition, and computational biopharmaceutics. The journal publishes papers on small drug molecules and biotechnology products including genes, peptides, proteins, vaccines, and genetically engineered cells, and publishes twelve issues a year.
