Vivek P. Chavda, MPharm, is an Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Technologyat the L. M. College of Pharmacy, Gujarat, India. Before joining academics, he worked in the biologicsindustry for almost eight years in research and development, with two successful regulatory filings atLupin Biotech (Pune) and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratory (Hyderabad). He has published many national andinternational journal papers, book chapters, and newsletter articles and has nine patents in the pipeline.His research interests include the development of biologics processes and formulations, medical devicedevelopment, nano-diagnostics, long-acting parenteral formulations, and nano-vaccines. He is serving asan editorial board member for various Scopus-indexed, peer-reviewed journals and was listed among thetop 2% of scientists in the world by Stanford University and Elsevier in 2023 and 2024.Vandana B. Patravale, PhD, is a Professor of Pharmaceutics at the Institute of Chemical Technology,Mumbai, India. Her research interests include development of nanocarriers with a major emphasis oninfectious diseases, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, medical device development, nanodiagnostics,and nano-vaccines. She has over 200 refereed publications, two books, and over 25 bookchapters to her credit. She holds over 30 granted patents and has 14 patents in progress and twotrademark registrations to her credit. She is the Vice President of the Controlled Release Society (IndianChapter) and the National Convenor of the Women’s Forum of the Association of PharmaceuticalTeachers of India. She has transferred more than 20 pharmaceutical technologies to various industries,including technology on drug-eluting stents, which are being marketed in more than 60 countries.

“Covers important aspects of parenteral microemulsions, ranging from formulation to characterization,highlighting parenteral pharmaceutical applications, including clinical and regulatory aspects–bothprerequisites for successful product developments for the benefit of patients. We are confident this bookwill stimulate further research in parenteral microemulsions.”—From the Foreword by Rainer H. Müller, PharmaSol GmbH Berlin, Germany, andCornelia M. Keck, Phillips University of Marburg, Germany
