What I do: Our highly multidisciplinary research focuses on the development of next-generation targeted controlled release polymeric nanomedicines for chronic inflammatory diseases. We use a bioinspired approach to create multi-functional nanoparticles capable of changing their surface or core properties in response to local up-regulated disease markers for more effective and stimuli-responsive drug delivery. We deliver a range of potent biologic therapeutics from enzymes, proteins and peptides. We are also interested in using innate biological pathways to explore oral delivery of nanoparticles.

Project title: Microcontainers for oral vaccine delivery
What I do: Today most vaccines are administered with needle injections, which is a very invasive method for patients. Moreover, vaccines needs to be kept at low temperatures at all times to maintain their function, which is energy consuming and difficult during transport. The focus of my work is on the ability of microcontainers to deliver vaccines through the oral route, and to make vaccines more heat stable via lyophilization, hence making the process of vaccination easier and more accessible.
