Dr Pooya Davoodi
The design and fabrication of novel drug delivery systems using smart biomaterials has led to considerable advancements in medicine through interdisciplinary collaborations between chemists, biologists, clinicians, and engineers. My team has substantial expertise in the synthesis of smart and responsive biomaterials as well as micro/nanoparticulate devices and implants that can be utilised in the diagnosis of diseases. In cancer, these can be used for the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. We have also synthesised polymeric (e.g., PCL, PLGA, PEI) nanoparticles for the delivery of multiple drugs and bioactive agents (e.g. DNA, miRNA, etc.) in ‘programmed’ and ‘on-demand’ approaches.
