Self-Assembling Peptide Nanomaterials for Targeted Ocular Drug Delivery
Self-assembling peptide-based hydrogels (SAPH) are composed of short peptide sequences, typically consisting of 5 to 20 amino acids, which undergo spontaneous self-assembly into three-dimensional networks under physiological conditions. Read more
Innovative Drug Delivery Systems for Ocular Therapies: Micro- and Nano-Formulation Approaches
Ocular drug delivery presents one of the greatest challenges in pharmaceutical science, largely due to the eye’s unique anatomy, which limits drug permeation to the intended site of action. Read more
Development and Evaluation of Microneedle Arrays for Ocular Drug Delivery
Minimally invasive microneedles (MNs) offer unique opportunities to address current challenges in the effective management of ocular disorders, such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Read more
Design and Assessment of Innovative Long-Acting Drug Delivery System
Current clinical therapies often rely on intermittent drug administration, such as frequent oral tablets or injections, as seen in diabetes management. Read more
Peptide-like hydrogels as long-acting injectable drug delivery platforms for the prevention of tuberculosis
Low to middle-income countries (LMIC) account for 95% of tuberculosis infections and deaths. Tuberculosis is currently the second highest infectious killer worldwide, after Covid-19, and is responsible for more deaths than HIV/AIDS. Read more
Peptide-like hydrogels as long-acting injectable drug delivery platforms for the prevention of malaria
There is an urgent need for new convenient drug delivery platforms to combat global health challenges in infectious disease, including malaria, and especially within low to middle-income countries (LMIC). Read more
Peptide-like hydrogels as a long-acting multipurpose drug delivery platform for combined contraception and HIV prevention
HIV in women, girls and mother-to-child transmission in pregnancy remain a significant source of new infections and the needs of females are inadequately addressed. Read more
Peptide-like hydrogels: A post-surgical sustained release drug delivery implant for the treatment of glioblastoma brain tumours
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and malignant form of brain tumour with ~3,200 new cases annually within the UK and a median survival of 15 months. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Nano-drug delivery systems from engineered stem cells
The effectiveness of new therapies is seriously hampered by inadequate delivery of the drug to the site of action and off-target toxicity. Read more
Discovery and study of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and composites for drug delivery and biomedical applications
The project: . Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising candidates for controlled drug delivery due to their tunable pore structures and high surface areas. Read more
Catalytic nanocages for in situ drug delivery
Therapeutic nanoreactors are innovative nanocompartments that confine one or more biocatalysts (e.g., enzymes) for the in-situ production of therapeutic agents, enabling targeted drug delivery with minimal off-site toxicity. Read more
Development of anti-inflammatory-based nanoparticles for topical treatment of psoriasis
Psoriasis remains one of the most common forms of skin related autoimmune diseases with more than 4% of prevalence in the developed world. Read more
Development of next-generation nanoparticles loaded hydrogels containing multiple active agents for improved treatment of bacterial infections
Antimicrobial resistance has become a global public health problem and plays important roles in the development of severe infections and other related complications. Read more
Development of antioxidants-based nanoparticles for topical application
Skin is one of the most organs of the human body exposed to irritants, pollutants and xenobiotics from the environment. Skin health and safety is based on skins’ endogenous antioxidants reserves. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Developing new modes of anti-cancer drug delivery using tissue engineered cancer and mass spectrometry imaging
The incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in the UK has risen by 60% in the last decade. Treatment for OSCC is surgery followed by radio- or intravenous chemotherapy with the latter having profound off-target toxicity. Read more
