RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr. Mauger’s research is focused on developing standards for pharmaceutical dosage forms that can be used to assure safe and effective medicines. In particular, the application of sound and innovative measurement science to test the dissolution properties of solid dosage forms remains as one of the most useful tools for quality control purposes to assure that the active ingredient is released for therapeutic effect. These standards and tests are recognized for their importance to public health by the United States Pharmacopeia and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
