Dr. Maria Cristina Bonferoni is an Associate Professor of Department of Drug Sciences at University of Pavia. She received her PhD in 1991. Dr. Maria research interests concern pharmaceutical development of conventional and controlled release formulations. Early work involved the study of hydrophilic polymers for oral matrix tablets. Swelling/erosion and diffusion/dissolution processes occurring in hydrophilic matrices have been studied and related to polymer rheological behaviour (viscosity and visco elasticity) under different conditions of pH and ionic strength. Other research interest involved muco adhesion mechanisms, development of muco adhesive dosage forms and of methods to measure muco adhesion properties.
