| Scholarly Interests: |
Dr. Felton’s current research interests include polymeric film coating technology, modified release systems, and transdermal penetration of chemicals through the skin. Ongoing studies are focused on the physical, mechanical, adhesive, and drug release properties of enteric and sustained-release polymers applied to solid surfaces. Other research studies are addressing the affects of cyclodextrin complexation on the dermal penetration and skin accumulation of UV absorbing compounds and other agents thought to have photoprotective effects. In addition, Dr. Felton is currently involved in the formulation development and GMP manufacturing of solid dosage forms for use in clinical trials. | ||||||||||||
