Development of a Cubesat Platform for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical LEO Experiments (2020)
Conference Proceeding

Undertaking biology experiments in space is a necessary and important part of understanding evolution, adaption, and ageing, and crucial to the enablement of safe human exploration away from Earth. Access to space, however, is difficult, costly and r... Read More about Development of a Cubesat Platform for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical LEO Experiments.

Intradermal delivery of imiquimod using polymeric microneedles for basal cell carcinoma (2020)
Journal Article

Despite being one of the most efficacious drugs used in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), imiquimod has limited cutaneous permeation. The current work presents the development of polyvinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate (PVPVA) microneedles l...

Intradermal Delivery of an Immunomodulator for Basal Cell Carcinoma; Expanding the Mechanistic Insight into Solid Microneedle-Enhanced Delivery of Hydrophobic Molecules (2020)
Journal Article

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy in humans. One of the most efficacious drugs used in the management of BCC is the immunomodulator, imiquimod. However, imiquimod has physiochemical properties that limit its permeatio...

Characterisation of mechanical insertion of commercial microneedles (2020)
Journal Article

The protection provided by the human skin is mostly attributed to the stratum corneum. However, this barrier also limits the range of molecules that can be delivered into and across the skin. One of the methods to overcome this physiological barrier... Read More about Characterisation of mechanical insertion of commercial microneedles.

The electrospinning of a thermo-responsive polymer with peptide conjugates for phenotype support and extracellular matrix production of therapeutically relevant mammalian cells (2020)
Journal Article

Current cell expansion methods for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications rely on the use of enzymatic digestion passaging and 2D platforms. However, this enzymatic treatment significantly reduces cell quality, due to the destructi...
