Sustainable Inhalable Anti-Infective Microparticle Manufacturing Through Life Cycle and Cost Analysis with Machine Learning Optimization

Published in ACS Sustainable Resource Management, 2026

This study compares spray drying, spray freeze-drying, and supercritical antisolvent processing for inhalable formulations of tobramycin and molnupiravir. Particle characterization and machine learning are combined with gate-to-gate LCA and life cycle costing to examine trade-offs among formulation properties, manufacturing impacts, and cost.
