Non-linear phenomena pervade the pharmaceutical sciences.  Understanding the interface between each of these phenomena and the way in which they contribute to overarching processes such as pharmaceutical product development may ultimately result in more efficient, less costly and rapid implementation. The benefit to Society is self-evident in that affordable treatments would be rapidly forthcoming. We have aggregated these phenomena into one topic Pharmaco-complexity: Non-linear Phenomena and Drug Product Development .
