Linking User Sensory Perceptions and Drug Delivery in Novel Formulations and Devices. By optimizing physicochemical properties, toxicity and pharmacokinetics for drug distribution and clearance, and optimizing physicochemical properties for user perceptions most conducive to acceptability and adherence (e.g., coating/spreading, “feel,” retention, leakage) this interdisciplinary work can facilitate development of the most highly effective and acceptable microbicides.
