`When I read the latest issues of (cid:16894)Science(cid:16895) or

`
`I see the same statement repeated again and again
`
`(cid:16894)and this work will have important applications in
`drug delivery(cid:16895)
`
`I smile and I cannot but think of the very early days of the field when …
`drug delivery was not popular,
`pharmaceutical companies were not that interested in new (cid:16894)systems(cid:16895)…
`drug delivery projects did not attract NIH or NSF grants and …
`did not buy you tenure
`
`How much have we changed in the last 25 years….

`The Evolution of Controlled Drug Delivery Devices and Systems:
`Pioneers and Imaginative Solutions
`
`•
`
`• Over the past 65 years approaches have been developed for incorporation of
`drugs in solid polymers and slowing down their release
`Prof. Takeru Higuchi (Univ Wisconsin the Univ Kansas) presented a seminal
`contribution in 1961. Its classical equation became the standard of design of drug
`delivery systems in the 1960s to 1980s
`•T. Higuchi, J.Pharm.Sci., 50, 874-875 (1961)
`
`•
`
`In the next years, other pioneers followed such as Anthony Simonelli,
`Ted Roseman and Bill Higuchi
