Biography

MPharm PhD

Research Intrest

My research interests revolve around drug delivery, in particular, respiratory drug delivery of powder formulations and vaccines for treating chronic lung conditions such as COPD, asthma, tuberculosis, lung cancer and lung infections. My aim is to achieve a fundamental knowledge base on solid state characterization processes to understand various pharmaceutical processes such as milling, mixing, spray drying, amorphization, micronization, crystallization, relaxation, dissolution, coating and storage. The knowledge and innovating approaches can be used to develop various conventional and controlled release solid dosage forms such as powders and vaccines for respiratory delivery as well as tablets and capsules for oral delivery.
