About

Dr. Nauman Rahim Khan is pioneering the intersection of additive manufacturing and pharmaceutical science, with a primary focus on leveraging 3D printing for personalized medicine. His most-cited work, "3D printing technology: A new approach for the fabrication of personalized and customized pharmaceuticals" (2023, 65 citations), establishes a transformative framework for producing patient-specific drug dosages and complex release profiles. This research addresses critical gaps in conventional manufacturing by enabling on-demand fabrication of polypills, tailored geometries, and multi-drug combinations—directly advancing the goal of precision therapeutics. Beyond this landmark paper, Dr. Khan’s contributions span the optimization of printability parameters for pharmaceutical polymers and the development of novel ink formulations for extrusion-based printing. His work has been cited over 65 times, reflecting its rapid adoption by researchers exploring decentralized drug manufacturing and pediatric formulations. By bridging engineering principles with clinical needs, Dr. Khan is helping to shift pharmaceutical production from mass manufacturing to individualized care, making him a key voice in the emerging field of 3D-printed pharmaceuticals.
