Research Interests
Open to PhD applications in the field of
- Investigation phase behaviours of drug-polymer blends within hot-melt extrusion
- The thermodynamic and kinetic understanding of drug-polymer binary systems
- Development of a nanomedicine for visceral leishmanaiasis
Public outreach & key achievements
- The research is mainly industrial orientated and developed tools are already implemented by the R&D department in some of the largest pharmaceutical companies, for example a novel screening method based on thermodynamic principles has been highly cited in this field: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/mp300386v
