Development of Solid-State NMR Methods for Application to Pharmaceutics

University of Warwick

Department of Physics

Most pharmaceutical treatments, even most recently approved ones, are delivered as solid-state tablets. Thus, once candidate molecules have been identified by drug discovery, and before entering clinical trials, the pharmaceutical industry makes substantial investment in understanding the solid-state landscape.
