Research summary
AI-generated

Rodolfo Pinal's research focuses on pharmaceutical formulation science, particularly on improving the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs and designing solid oral dosage forms. Recent work uses techniques like solvatochromism (measuring how solvent environments affect molecular behavior), hot melt extrusion, and modified starches/biopolymers to control drug dissolution and release rates. The work spans basic physical chemistry (solvent polarity, crystallization) through to applied drug delivery and formulation engineering.

Publication output was modest and fairly steady through 2017-2021, dipped in 2022, and then increased notably in 2024-2025, suggesting recent growing activity.
