Dexamethasone-releasing cochlear implants to reduce foreign body response
Cochlear implants are surgically implanted neuroprostheses designed to produce useful hearing sensations to persons with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss by electrically stimulating the auditory nerve in the inner ear (or cochlea). Read more

Nanocrystals-in-nanofibres as a promising strategy for the delivery of poorly soluble actives
One of the most challenging issues that the pharmaceutical industry face is poor aqueous solubility of drugs. 90% of candidate molecules within the discovery pipelines face solubility issues, posing significant hurdles to their clinical translation. Read more
Microfluidic Encapsulation of biologics into Nanomedicines
Progress in drug design has led to the development of new peptides, proteins, and drug molecules. However, the limited ability to deliver selectively these molecules at well-defined dosing regimens and without invoking drug-resistance remains a significant challenge. Read more
Multipurpose gel formulations containing antiretroviral-loaded lactoferrin nanoparticles and antibiotics for combination HIV prevention and treatment of bacterial vaginosis
This is an exemplar PhD project co-supervised by Dr. Sheiliza Carmali (School of Pharmacy) and Prof. Karl Malcolm (School or Pharmacy). Read more
Breaking the resistance: alternative approaches to antibiotics discovery
The World Health Organisation (WHO) identifies antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as one of the top 10 global threats to human health (http://www.who.int/). Read more

3D-printed drug-eluting auxetic meshes for preventing biofilm formation and capsular contracture associated with breast implants
This is an exemplar PhD project co-supervised by Dr. Zafer Kazanci (School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering) and Prof. Karl Malcolm (School or Pharmacy). Read more
Infection-responsive coatings for the prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infections
Medical care has transformed over the last century with significant improvements in the variety and extent to which various diseases can be treated and/or prevented. Read more
Biomaterial coatings with lubricious, slippery coatings for improved urinary catheter performance
Intermittent urinary catheterisation is commonly used to address chronic urinary retention in patients suffering from conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. Read more
Designing next-generation urinary catheter materials for clean intermittent self-catheterisation through control of the urinary microbiome
Intermittent urinary catheterisation is commonly used to address chronic urinary retention in patients suffering from conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. Read more
Development of carbohydrate-functionalised materials for detection and prevention of medical device-associated infections
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing problem in the 21st century, causing longer and more serious infections, and resulting in poor outcomes for vulnerable patients. . Read more
Microneedle delivery systems for minimally-invasive patient diagnosis/monitoring
In this project, a novel type of integrated system will be investigated that will by-pass the skin barrier. On its surface will be multiple microscopic needles that pierce the skin without causing any pain – the sensation is said to feel like a cat’s tongue or sharkskin. 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
Does one size fit all for antimicrobial delivery via nanoparticles
Antimicrobial resistant bacteria are a growing problem and new ways are needed to target bacterial infections more efficiently. One way in which bacteria can avoid therapeutics is via intracellular infection, where they hide within our own cells. Read more
Regulation of CaaX protein processing
USP17 is over-expressed in a range of primary tumours including NSCLC, breast, colorectal, cervical, ovarian and osteosarcoma and its depletion has been shown to block the growth of cells from all these cancer types, as well as the migration of a range of cancer cells (NSCLC, breast, ovarian, osteosarcoma). .
