Expertise Summary

Our research aims to develop materials which can improve the delivery of small molecule drugs, genes and vaccine components to target sites in the body, to enhance therapeutic efficacy and reduce side-effects. The main focus of the work is on polymer therapeutics, for which we are developing a range of synthetic, natural and hybrid materials to transport drugs, genes and cells safely and efficiently to disease locations. We are currently working on polymer formulations for cancer medicines, anti-infectives and RNA vaccines in collaboration with groups from all over the world. Alumni from the group hold faculty posts at University College London, Sheffield, East Anglia, King's College London, Federico II (Napoli), Paris Est, Shenyang Pharmaceutical University (China), University College Dublin and senior research posts in Abzema, Achilles Therapeutics, AstraZeneca, Baxter Pharmaceuticals (China), Catalent, Cytrx, Exactmer, GSK, Lonza DPS, Malvern Instruments, MIP Diagnostics, Quotient, Revolymer, Samsung, Sygnature, Synthomer and UCB Pharma.
