Liposomal Antibiotic for Improved Treatment of Respiratory Infection
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global risk to human health by causing death, disability, longer hospitalisations, and increased healthcare costs. Read more
3D-printing of implantable devices for sustained drug delivery
The demand for customised medical devices is driving growth in the 3D-printing medical device market, valued at US$3.76 billion and growing at 14% annually. Read more
The Development of Implantable Anti-tumour Devices for Enhanced Efficacy of Repurposed Drugs Using Advanced Manufacturing
Drug repurposing or repositioning, which investigates new indications for approved drugs, has always been a core approach in drug development, with approximately 30-40% of new drugs and biologics approved by the US FDA between 2007 and 2009 being repurposed or repositioned products (DOI. Read more
The Development of a Robust Risk-Based Approach to the use of Hot Melt Extrusion for the Manufacture of Amorphous Solid Dispersions
This project builds upon the extensive experience within the Pharmaceutical Engineering team at the School of Pharmacy to develop a risk-based approach to evaluate the suitability of hot melt extrusion as a manufacturing technique for amorphous solid dispersions. . Read more
3D-printing of implantable devices for sustained drug delivery
The demand for customised medical devices is driving growth in the 3D-printing medical device market, valued at US$3.76 billion and growing at 14% annually. Read more
Elucidating novel anti-cancer drug responses in advanced ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynaecological malignancies, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to non-specific symptoms and a lack of early detection methods. Read more
Liposomal Antibiotic for Improved Treatment of Respiratory Infection
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global risk to human health by causing death, disability, longer hospitalisations, and increased healthcare costs. Read more
A proliposomal strategy for enhancing solubility and absorption of drugs delivered from controlled release vaginal ring devices
Controlled release vaginal rings are used for long-term administration of drugs to the human vagina. Currently, eight ring devices have reached market, mostly focused on estrogen replacement therapy, hormonal contraception, and HIV prevention. Read more
Developing and characterising novel targeted nanocomposites serving as adjuvants to existing standard-of-care cancer treatments
One in two cancer patients will receive radiotherapy as part of their standard-of-care treatment. For patients with a localised cancer diagnosis effective radiotherapy represents the best chance for a curative outcome but is not without risk. Read more
Selective targeting of furin for the treatment of fibrotic lung disease.
Furin, a proprotein convertase has been established as a therapeutic target across several disease areas to include chronic airways diseases and infectious disease, such as COVID-19 (reviewed in our recent publication, Douglas et al, 2023). Read more
LONG-ACTING MICRONEEDLE DELIVERY SYSTEMS
A key trend in the pharmaceutical industry is currently long-acting drug delivery. Here, instead of taking tablets daily, a patient receives an injection or implant that contains weeks or months of medication. Read more
MICRONEEDLE-MEDIATED CHEMICAL & ELECTROCHEMICAL RAPID INJECTION SYSTEMS
Increasing healthcare costs across the globe have greatly enhanced the need for self-administration of injectables at home, away from healthcare settings, where transmission could have dire consequences. Read more
Structural Exploration for Antifungal Nanocarriers Development
The global burden of fungal infections is now surpassing 7 million annually, with the average mortality rate exceeding that for malaria or breast cancer (Fisher M. Read more
Development of a Dual Nanogel for Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa
Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa (JEB) is a debilitating disease where a weak interface between the dermis and epidermis leaves the skin prone to delamination and blistering. Read more
3D-printed drug-eluting auxetic meshes for preventing biofilm formation and capsular contracture associated with breast implants
Capsular contracture is a common complication associated with breast implants following reconstructive or aesthetic surgery in which a tight or constricting scar tissue capsule forms around the implant, often distorting the breast shape and resulting in chronic pain. Read more
