  • New edition of Aulton's Pharmaceutics is now available

Edited by Kevin Taylor (Emeritus Professor at the School of Pharmacy) and Mike Aulton (Emeritus Professor, De Montfort University and Alumnus & Fellow of the School of Pharmacy), this long-established pharmaceutics textbook, widely known simply as ‘Aulton’, is used extensively by pharmacy and pharmaceutical science students worldwide.

The philosophy and scope of the new edition are the same as for earlier editions; the book comprehensively covers all aspects of pharmaceutics and is intended for newcomers to the formulation and manufacture of medicines. The content has been extensively revised and updated to reflect innovations and developments in the pharmaceutical science employed in the design, manufacture, delivery and quality control of modern medicines. This encompasses, for instance, recent advances in the formulation and delivery of small drug molecules, biopharmaceuticals (including antibodies, vaccines and cell therapies) and nanomedicines, the availability of methods for continuously making medicines and innovative methods for manufacturing personalised medicines.

Contributors to this new edition include many current and former School of Pharmacy people including: Susan Barker, Abdul Basit, Steve Brocchini, Graham Buckton, Soraya Dhillon, Hala Fadda, Christina Freire, Simon Gaisford, Francesca Gavins, Neil Hartman, Majella Lane, Christine Madla, John Malkinson, Emma McConnell, Sudax Murdan, Mine Orlu, Yvonne Perrie, Somavarapu Satyanarayana, Andreas Schatzlein, Khalid Sheikh, Catherine Tuleu, Ijeoma Uchegbu, Gareth Williams and Guojun Xiong.
