Development of a non-viral delivery system for targeted delivery of nucleic acid therapies across the blood brain barrier
The blood brain barrier (BBB) is designed to protect the central nervous system from infection and regulate the microenvironment of the brain. Read more
Lipid-based implants for sustained protein release
Protein-based therapeutics are an important class of medicine with significant value for the treatment of many relevant disorders such as cancers, inflammation, and exposure to infectious diseases. Read more
Continuous Manufacturing of Amorphous Solid Dispersions using Hot Melt Extrusion based upon Quality by Design Principles: Understanding Critical Process Paramenters, Formulation Variables and Process Scale-up.
Orally administered drugs represent the most patient acceptable drug delivery platforms on the market offering high levels of patient acceptability and compliance. Read more
Utilising data linkage to estimate antimicrobial resistance burden in paediatric populations
The project will utilize data linkage techniques to link data from secondary care and primary care to evaluate antibiotic consumption and estimate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) burden in paediatric populations. Read more
To investigate novel interacting drug combinations in the treatment of Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer (OC), the most lethal gynaecological cancer, will result in ~13,000 deaths in the UK this year. At time of diagnosis most patients (58%)… Read more
Sustained Release Nanocarriers for Ocular Drug Delivery
Ophthalmic drug delivery remains the most challenging task to pharmaceutical scientists. This is due to the unique structure of the eye, which restricts the entry of drug molecules at the required site of action. Read more
SILENT: Stealth-Like Internalisation of Genetic Cargo for Ex vivo Natural Killer Cell Therapies
Natural killer (NK) cells are highly cytotoxic immune effectors and adoptive immunotherapy with NK cells has emerged as a promising treatment option for a variety of malignancies including carcinomas, myeloma, sarcomas, lymphomas and leukaemia. 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
Antibiotic Resistance and Biofilm Formation in Clinical Isolates of Enterococcus faecium – a WHO High Priority Pathogen
E. faecium is an important human pathogen which exhibits resistance to a range of antibiotics, and is implicated in a wide variety of device associated infections. 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
Nanoparticles have been intensively used for the delivery of drugs to target tissues such as the lymph nodes, brain, liver and tumors. Read more
Pharmacist-led medicines optimisation case management services: evaluation and development of the Medicines Optimisation in Older People (MOOP) model
Older people often have multiple co-morbid medical conditions (multimorbidity) and take multiple medicines (polypharmacy). They are at increased risk of receiving potentially inappropriate medicines, experiencing adverse drug events, and having reduced quality of life, higher mortality, and greater health services use. Read more
Peptide hydrogels as a long-acting multipurpose drug delivery platform for combined contraception and HIV prevention
HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death in women of reproductive age worldwide. HIV and unintended pregnancies are prevalent in developing nations due to the lack of effective female contraceptive choice. Read more
Nanoparticle delivery of antibiotics for treatment of pulmonary infection
In respiratory diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and COPD, the lungs are colonized by diverse polymicrobial bacterial communities. Read more
