About
Lynne S. Taylor is a leading figure in pharmaceutical materials science, whose research bridges physical chemistry and drug delivery to solve critical challenges in oral bioavailability. Her work centers on amorphous solid dispersions, crystallization inhibition, and supersaturating drug delivery systems—areas where she has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how poorly water-soluble drugs can be stabilized and effectively absorbed. Taylor’s landmark contributions include elucidating the mechanisms of liquid-liquid phase separation during drug dissolution and developing polymer-based strategies to maintain drug supersaturation, insights that have reshaped formulation design in the pharmaceutical industry. With over 30,000 citations, her research is among the most influential in the field; her highly cited review on amorphous solid dispersions has guided a generation of scientists. She has also pioneered techniques such as fluorescence-based methods for probing diffusion in complex media, including the innovative use of diffractive optical elements for patterned photobleaching. A Distinguished Professor at Purdue University, Taylor’s work has earned her numerous accolades, including the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists’ Research Achievement Award. Her research continues to set the standard for rational design of enabling formulations.
