Nanoparticles & Advanced Drug Delivery Systems

Drug Delivery research in the veterinary species incorporates unique challenges whilst providing opportunities for advancement in the health care of both animals and humans. In the field of veterinary pharmaceutics, there is great diversity in the animals that require treatment and the type of therapeutic agents to be delivered.

There is considerable scope for formulationscientists to provide valuable input into researching and developing drugs and delivery systems for application in veterinary medicineand to collaborate with animal health researchers in related disciplines. It is hoped that this special theme issue on veterinary drug delivery may stimulate new endeavours in this fascinating area.
