PhD in Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery in Boston United States | Northeastern University

A Ph.D. in pharmaceutics focuses on advanced research. Although coursework remains significant, students actively engage in hands-on pharmaceutical science within laboratory settings. Faculty research spans diverse scientific domains, such as the pharmacokinetic toxicodynamics of anticancer drugs, biomaterial applications and synthetic polymer systems for drug delivery design, targeted drug delivery approaches (both passive and active), cardiovascular drug targeting, innovative protein and peptide delivery methods, and mathematical modeling of biological compounds.

The interdisciplinary track caters to students seeking to integrate knowledge and techniques from two specialized fields. One specialization must originate from within the college, while the second may be selected from other Northeastern University departments like biology, chemistry, or engineering. Students choosing this interdisciplinary path must complete identical requirements as all other Ph.D. candidates.
