Research Interests
Our research is centered on the biopharmaceutical characterisation of innovative drug
products, with a focus on nanomedicines and nanodiagnostics. We have expertise spanning
pre-formulation studies of new chemical entities and formulation design through to
pharmacokinetics and acute toxicology testing in preclinical rodent models. One of our main
areas of interest lies in the development of inhaled medicines, where we focus on the
biopharmaceutics of pulmonary delivery, including lung pharmacokinetics and toxicology of
novel excipients following aerosol administration.
