Improving Drug Delivery Using Nanotechnology [ 2018 - 2021 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Angus Johnston (Principal investigator)

Brief description In this fellowship I will develop methods to improve the way drugs are delivered through the use of nanotechnology. Nanoparticles can be used to protect delicate drugs from degrading, and to make sure drugs are delivered where they are required. This helps to lower side effects and improve efficacy of a range of drugs. I lead a multi-disciplinary research team dedicated to understanding of how nanoparticles interact with biological systems, so we can engineer better drug delivery systems.
