About the Project
Mucosal routes of drug administration offer numerous advantages including ease of application, non-invasive nature and sometimes possibility of targeting particular organs. We are interested in the development of novel dosage forms and materials for transmucosal routes of drug delivery. Areas of interest include drug delivery to the eye, nose, oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, urinary bladder, vagina and rectum. In a typical project we look at the use of chemical modification of existing pharmaceutical polymers to enhance their properties and we design new polymeric materials in the form of soluble polymers, nano- and microparticles, hydrogels, in situ gelling systems or simple tablets. The project may involve the use of different instrumental techniques including different spectroscopies, thermal analysis, chromatographic techniques, mechanical and texture analysis, electron and fluorescent microscopy and work with freshly excised animal mucosal tissues.
You will join successful multidisciplinary group of researchers led by Prof Vitaliy Khutoryanskiy, who received 2020 PhD supervisor of the Year Award (FindAPhD, 2020). This group will provide lots of training and career opportunities. See our web site https://www.reading.ac.uk/pharmacy/about/staff/v-khutoryanskiy.aspx,
