Journal Article
Sabra, R., Billa, N., & Roberts, C. J. (2018). An augmented delivery of the anticancer agent, curcumin, to the colon. Reactive and Functional Polymers, 123, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.reactfunctpolym.2017.12.012

This work describes the formulation aspects of an orally viable curcumin-containing mucoadhesive nanoparticulate system for management of colon cancer. Curcumin is documented to possess anticancer properties whilst modified citrus pectin yields a gal... Read More about An augmented delivery of the anticancer agent, curcumin, to the colon.

Multiboronic acid-conjugated chitosan scaffolds with glucose selectivity to insulin release (2017)
Journal Article
Siddiqui, N. A., Billa, N., & Roberts, C. J. (in press). Multiboronic acid-conjugated chitosan scaffolds with glucose selectivity to insulin release. Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 28(8), https://doi.org/10.1080/09205063.2017.1301774

The principal challenge for the use of boronic acids (BA) as glucose sensors is their lack of specificity for glucose. We examined the selectivity of and insulin release from two boronic acids- (2-formyl-3-thienylboronic acid (FTBA) and 4-formylpheny...
