Purpose
The primary goal of our research is to assist pharmaceutical companies and other researchers in the enhancement of patient care, at an affordable price, through innovative drug-delivery technologies. To this end, our group offers a theory-guided approach that validates experimental data and provides a cost-effective way to test conditions in order to reduce side effects before introducing a new product to the market. Our secondary goal is to continue to develop efficient analytical models for investigating innovative ideas in the field that are currently not being explored because of monetary constraints. The Simon group is not only assisting pharmaceutical industries in the production of better drug delivery systems. We are also enriching the educational experience for future scientists and engineers...the students enrolled in our high schools and universities.
