I am Akeemat Oluwafisayo Tijani, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy from Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria. I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Biomedical Sciences (Concentration in Pharmaceutical Sciences) at East Tennessee State University, USA. My research interests are in the field of drug formulation and delivery particularly transdermal and topical drug delivery exploring the formulation of solid, semi-solid, and liquid dosage forms for passive or active delivery via skin. I explore delivery systems including microneedles, transdermal patches, etc for different active pharmaceutical ingredients or cosmetic actives. I apply quantitative and qualitative analytical approaches in the evaluation of formulated systems for their viability.
