Dominique Vanhecke and colleagues have developed palatable formulations that encourage voluntary consumption of water-insoluble drugs such as tamoxifen without loss of efficacy compared to oral gavage or injections. The sweetened formulations are administered using common micropipettes, allowing for accurate, weight-adjusted dosing that can be performed with minimal training of the experimenter. The award has been made possible through a generous education grant from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
