The role of carers in medicines management for people living with dementia
It is estimated that there are close to 50 million people living with dementia worldwide, and this number is estimated to double every 20 years. Read more
Structure-based design of allosteric modulators for G protein-coupled receptors using molecular modelling and pharmacology experiments
Almost all physiological processes are regulated through the activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It has become widely accepted that most GPCRs possess binding sites spatially distinct from their natural ligand binding site (orthosteric site), termed as allosteric sites. Read more
Self-regulating, self-cleaning biomaterials
A major problem associated with medical devices is infection. Read more
Self-Navigating Nanocarriers for Intracellular Protein Delivery
Protein-based therapeutics have shown remarkable success in modulating extracellular targets; however, effective intracellular delivery remains a key challenge in biotherapeutics. Read more
Safer, scalable, and modifiable polymer-based lipid nanocapsules for drug delivery
Lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) are very interesting nanoformulations as they can be made by phase inversion technique (PIT), a scalable method with predictable particle size at the beginning of the preparation process. Read more
Relationship between antibiotic therapy and development of antimicrobial resistance in patients with bronchiectasis and COPD
To decrease the risk of acute infective exacerbations or flare-ups of their condition, individuals with bronchiectasis and COPD are frequently prescribed long-term oral and inhaled antibiotics. Read more
Production of super small nanocrystals for drug delivery to target tissues
The student will be involved in an exciting project related to the design, formulation and in vitro/in vivo characterisation of super small drug nanocrystals with specific surface properties to enhance drug accumulation in target tissues, such as the lymphatic or central nervous systems. Read more
Prescribing, medicine access and medicines use in community-based palliative care
Community medical and nursing teams are increasingly called upon to deliver palliative and end-of-life care to terminally ill people living in their own homes and in long-term care settings such as nursing homes. Patients and carers may experience problems in medicines access, and processes can be lengthy and burdensome. Read more
Polymer-engineering nanocages for protein delivery
Protein therapeutics are a fast-acting and potent class of medicine with remarkable success in the treatment of several relevant disorders. Read more
Peptide-based nanoparticles for brain targeted gene delivery
Gene therapy has the potential to provide therapeutic benefit to millions of people with neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Delivery into the brain is hampered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits the efficacy of both conventional and novel therapies at the target site. Read more
Novel poly(acrylic acid) complexes for enantioselective drug delivery and chiral separation
Poly(acrylic acid)s (PAA) are widely used as emulsifiers, suspending agents and viscosity enhancers within the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries owing to their low cost and excellent safety profile when administered orally or applied topically. Read more
Multifunctional Biomaterials to Combat Infection and Modulate Inflammation
Implantable medical devices are commonplace in modern medicine (e.g. joint replacements, stents, artificial heart valves, etc.), and are of ever increasing interest in the field of regenerative medicine. Read more
Microneedle delivery systems for next-generation antibody therapeutics
Microneedle arrays are minimally-invasive devices that painlessly, and without drawing blood, penetrate the skin’s stratum corneum barrier. Read more
Microfluidic technologies for the production of Nanomedicines
Progress in drug design has led to the development of new molecules. However, the limited ability to selectively deliver these molecules at well-defined dosing regimens remains a significant challenge. Read more
Mechanochemical synthesis of polymer-drug conjugates via reactive extrusion
Polymer–drug conjugate (PDCs) therapeutics are pharmacologically active macromolecular constructs comprising at least one therapeutic agent covalently bound to a polymeric carrier. Read more
