My team works with drug delivery, where knowledge of physiological pathways are used to improve delivery of pharmacologically active compounds to the site of action. We work multidisciplinary within pharmaceutics, material sciences, physical chemistry and physiology, and make use of advanced computational modelling, develop novel in vitro tools and design new type(s) of drug carriers in our quest for better medicines.
