design and prepare a buffer system (including the drug) that achieves a target pH, buffer capacity, ionic strength, and/or osmolarity.

assess the stability of a drug in solution under specified conditions of pH, temperature, and ionic strength.

determine the order of a degradation process and mathematically describe the concentration vs time profile

predict the shelf-life of a product based on accelerated stability data

describe the types of rheological behavior observed for pharmaceutical systems, and design systems with specific flow characteristics
