NJIT Engineers Win an Edison Patent Award for Technology that Masks the Taste of Bitter Drugs

Rajesh Davé, distinguished professor of chemical, biological and pharmaceutical engineering, and two of his former graduate students, Maxx Capece and Daniel To, received a Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award from the Research & Development Council of New Jersey for developing a manufacturing process that masks the bitter tastes of medications while delivering them effectively to their targets in the body.

The team of chemical engineers was honored for their “enabling technology” at the organization’s 37th Edison Patent Awards Ceremony on November 3. They were among 12 winners in 2016.
