Twin Screw Melt Granulation: Alternative Approach for Improving Solubility and Permeability of a…
The current research is focused on investigating the suitability of the twin screw melt granulation (TSMG) approach for improving the solubility of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) drug (ibuprofen), by developing granules using lipid surfactants. The solubility of the drug within the solid…

3D printed multi-drug-loaded suppositories for acute severe ulcerative colitis
Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) is a growing health burden that often requires treatment with multiple therapeutic agents. As inflammation is localised in the rectum and colon, local drug delivery using suppositories could improve therapeutic outcomes. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a…

Iterative Design of Ionizable Lipids for Intramuscular mRNA Delivery
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the most clinically advanced delivery vehicles for RNA and have enabled the development of RNA-based drugs such as the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Functional delivery of mRNA by an LNP greatly depends on the inclusion of an ionizable lipid, and small changes to these lipid…
