WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Pharmaceuticals are an important foundation of modern health and society. Without vaccines, medications and therapeutics, civilization as we know it would break down. And without careful formulation and storage, the pharmaceuticals themselves can break down and decay into uselessness.
Understanding and preventing that decay is the focus of Purdue scientist Elizabeth Topp’s career.
