Faculty member Lisa C. Rohan, PhD was awarded a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation entitled Assessment of Films for Multi-purpose Prevention Technology (MPT) Development.
There is a need for multipurpose technologies (MPT) to address sexual and reproductive health issues for women. Specifically products which provide both contraception and HIV prevention to women represent an identified unmet need. Studies planned within this funded program will serve to generate critical gap activities toward the application of vaginal polymeric thin film dosage forms to address female sexual and reproductive health issues.
Rohan ia an associate professor in the pharmaceutical sciences department at the School of Pharmacy.
