(24 November, 2016) Ruggero Bettini, full professor of pharmaceutical technology at the University of Parma was awarded the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) fellowship. The fellowship was awarded to him during the AAPS inaugural ceremony for the annual meeting in Denver, Colorado. Every year the association selects a limited number of researchers (8-10) among their members that are distinguished for their research findings and thus awarding them this prestigious fellowship. Bettini was awarded for his contribution to the progress of discovering fundamental and applied hydrophilic oral extended release systems and also his contribution as both as a researcher and a manager in the transfer of academic research into the industry. Bettini is the 6th Italian academic to receive this fellowship. The first to receive it was professor Paolo Colombo also from the University of Parma twenty years ago and recently nominated Professor Emeritus from Parma University. (Red)
