Abstract
Drug formulation and delivery is a rapidly developing field that is also a very mature area of the R&D process. Novel methods continue to contribute to improved modalities. The whole landscape will change very soon and it will have a key role to play in replacing existing drugs with expiring patents. Nanoscale delivery methods are in rapid development, and will allow for efficient cell internalization and enhanced efficacy.
