Research within Dr Flynn’s team is interested in the effects and application of cold plasma on cells and bacteria and how these effects may utilised to enhance drug delivery and uptake. His group is currently focussed on how cold plasma treatments affects intracellular infected cells and its application alongside traditional antimicrobials including antibiotics and disinfectants. Dr Flynn’s research is at the leading edge of multidisciplinary science involving atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma with cell and microbiology.
