- Assessment of key anti-counterfeiting technologies employed by pharmaceutical manufacturers, supported by case study analysis
- Examination of governmental and NGO based initiatives to improve regulation, legislation and enforcement of anti-counterfeiting protocols

Currently, 2D-barcodes and radio frequency identification tagging (RFID) are the two most prominent track & trace technologies. However, with the FDA having no preference, which technologies will pharmaceutical companies opt for?
