Research interests

My research interests include a wide range of drug delivery technologies based on polymers and nanotechnology, but particularly involving the delivery of biomolecules and incorporating various targeting strategies. My research incorporates many aspects of drug delivery including assembly and characterisation of delivery systems. Characterisation includes the physicochemical aspects of the delivery system, the drug incorporation and release characteristics, and also the interaction of the delivery systems with biological systems both in vitro and in vivo.
