About the Editors

Prof. Vitaliy V. Khutoryanskiy has been professor of formulation science since 2014, having previously been associate professor (reader) in pharmaceutical materials (2010–2014) and lecturer in pharmaceutics (2005–2010) at the Reading School of Pharmacy, University of Reading. Prior to his appointment at the University of Reading, he worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, The University of Manchester (2004–2005) and as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Strathclyde (2002–2004). From 2000 to 2002, he worked at the Department of Macromolecular Chemistry (Al‐Farabi Kazakh National University) as a lecturer/senior lecturer in polymer chemistry. He received his PhD in Polymer Chemistry in 2000 from Kazakh National Technical University, Kazakhstan. Prof. Khutoryanskiy has researched broadly in the area of biomaterials for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications with a particular emphasis on drug delivery, mucoadhesive materials, hydrogels, nanoparticles, and stimuli‐responsive polymers. He was the recipient of the 2012 McBain Medal from SCI and RSC for his imaginative use of colloid, polymer, and interface science in the development of novel biomedical materials. He has published over 130 original papers and 17 reviews and edited 2 books.
