Polymer science (Chemistry), pharmaceutical formulation (Pharmacy), and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (Biology and Medicine) are among my areas of expertise.

Using controlled/living polymerisation techniques, we designed and synthesised biodegradable, stimuli sensitive (temperature and pH), and functionalised polymers (ROP, RAFT and ATRP),
Colloidal nano- and micro-carriers are being developed for the controlled and targeted release of biopharmaceuticals, pharmaceuticals, biopolymers, and therapeutic proteins.
Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture materials were designed and synthesised for injectable and implantable cell delivery systems.

• My current research is centred on the creation of novel technological platforms for use in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.
• 3D acellular biomaterial matrices for cell growth (In vitro use)
  Injectable hydrogels as a delivery system for cellular and therapeutic proteins (In vivo cellular based therapy)
• A polymeric nanoparticulate drug delivery system was designed, synthesised, and characterised. Complex cellular organisation and tissue-like patterns can be printed in 3D. Cancer treatments based on "smart" nanomaterials with controlled-release properties
• Intestinal 3D cell culture system development for studying health and disease
