Subsequently, the interest has shifted to permeability of natural plant molecules of medicinal or cosmetic purposes. Her research is also focused on preformulation and formulation studies, firstly of monolayer patches and more recently of semisolids. Part of the research activity aims to improve compounding in pharmacy, in particular, she has investigated the possibility of obtaining suitable formulation for the medicinal use of Cannabis.
