Biosketch I am a Professor in Nanomedicine and Leader for the Formulation and Drug Delivery Research Group within the School of Pharmacy & Biomolecular Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, UK. I obtained my Pharmacy degree from the same university and am a registered pharmacist. In 2004, I received my Doctor of Philosphy (Ph.D) in drug delivery from Aston University, UK, entitled Improving diagnosis and vaccination strategies against Bovine Tuberculosis. Upon completing my Ph.D I went on to undertake a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University of New Mexico, working in the area of dry powder inhalation of anticancer agents for treatment of lung cancer. Research My research group transgresses multiple disciplines including formulation, drug delivery, nanotechnology, polymer science, chemistry, cell and molecular biology, and have published extensively in peer-reviewed journals, conference abstracts and book chapters. The groups work is involved in the application and understanding of novel nanocarrier systems in overcoming biological barriers for the targeted delivery of small molecules and macromolecules (proteins, peptides, siRNA, miRNA) for human and veterinary use.
