Ecevit Bilgili, a professor of chemical and materials engineering who boosts the therapeutic efficacy of pharmaceutical drugs through nanoengineering, while also lowering the cost to design and manufacture them, has been elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
In his Particle Engineering and Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology Laboratory, Bilgili and his team develop, for example, nanoparticle formulations and processes that enable the immediate release of poorly water-soluble drugs and enhance the performance of long-acting injectable drugs.
