Portfolio:
Radka Boyuklieva earned a Master of Pharmacy from the Faculty of Pharmacy at the Medical University of Plovdiv in 2021. She then began her doctoral studies as a PhD student in the “Technology of dosage forms and biopharmacy” program. In 2024, she successfully defended her dissertation and received her doctorate degree. She is currently specializing in Pharmaceutical Technology with Biopharmacy.
Her research interests are focused on the development and characterization of micro- and nanoscale drug delivery systems, exploring alternative routes of drug administration (with an emphasis on the nasal route), and the formulation of modified-release dosage forms.
