Aerosol Research Group
Founded by Dr. Peter Byron (Emeritus Professor) in 1988, the VCU Aerosol Research Group (ARG) conducts innovative research in the areas of drug delivery to the lung and nose.
Our work spans a wide variety of research areas including optimal design and evaluation of aerosol drug delivery formulations and devices; in vitro and in vivo characterization of inhaled drug products; clinical biopharmaceutics and pharmacology of novel drug molecules; regulatory sciences.
Importantly, ARG has a strong commitment to provide rigorous training to our undergraduate, professional and graduate students, together with post-doctoral scholars who pursue meritorious research under dedicated mentorship.
The group receives funding from the NIH, FDA and NSF, together with independent research foundations and the pharmaceutical industry.
