The review article assocaited with Josh’s work with PZ Cussons has been published. Josh worked on on the KTP project Understanding the physiological processes of the DHA skin colouring mechanism.
Congratulations to group members who have graduated!
Congratulations to former group PhD student Jess and Edyta who had their in person graduation ceremony recently. It was great to able to see them in-person and celebrate their success with them.
Dom, Edyta and Cameron attend ACS Spring 2022 Meeting in San Diego
Cameron’s paper highlighted as a HOT paper
Cameron’s paper in Journal of Materials Chemistry B has been selected as one of the journal’s HOT papers for 2021. The list of the hot papers can be seen here.
Dom’s paper is published
Our 1st paper of 2022 comes from Dom’s research. In this paper, Dom shows how the thermoresponsive and degradation behaviour of nanogels can be tuned by using a core-shell structure.
Mazrina joins the group to do a PhD
We are really pleased to welcome Mazrina Mazlan to join our group. Mazrina’s PhD is going to be focussed on making degradable multi-responsive nanogels. Mazrina joins the group on a Malaysian scholarship.
Cameron’s paper in published
Cameron’s first paper is now published. Cameron prepared hydrophobically modified drug analogues and used these to produce nanoparticles. These particles displayed high drug loading and the LogP of the compound controlled NP formation.
Jess completes her PhD
Congratulations to Jess who completed her viva July and completed her corrections in September. Jess’ PhD is focussed on designing nanoparticles for the deliver of therapeutics for the treatment of preterm birth. Jess leaves our group to join the Rannard group as a PhD.
Heba finishes her PhD
Congratulations to Heba who completed her viva May and graduated earlier this month. Heba’s work is focussed on lipid-based nanoparticles for the delivery of HIV drugs. Her second paper is due to be submitted in the next month. We wish Heba all the best in the next stages of her career.
Nancy’s work on redispersible nanosuspensions as a plausible oral delivery system for curcumin is published.
Nancy’s second paper has recently been published. In this work, Nancy shows a new and simple way of formulating a poorly soluble compound like curcumin to give a solid that can be dispersed to give nanoparticles. This approach allowed the curcumin to display similar biological properties to solubilised curcumin but without the need for any solvent. See the full article here.
