Research Areas: Pharmaceutical products, beyond-use-dating of compounded non-sterile pharmaceuticals, drug formulation for individualized care and technology in pharmacy education
Opportunities for Collaboration: Specialized dosage form preparations for human/veterinary trials, optimization of care with individualized
pharmaceutical dosage forms and technology use to improve student learning
Dr. Elder is PBS’s only clinical faculty member. Her current research projects focus on the preparation of extemporaneously prepared sterile and non-sterile pharmaceutical products, beyond-use-dating (expiration) of compounded non-sterile pharmaceuticals, drug formulation for individualized patient care, and the use of technology in teaching and assessing pharmacy skills.
