Research projects in my lab fall under cancer cell biology, endocytosis and drug delivery, concentrating on linking knowledge of endocytosis to enhance our capacity to deliver therapeutics across biological barriers to defined regions of cells. We actively collaborate and have recent collaborations  with a number of national and international groups including small and major Pharmaceutical Industries. My group has published widely within the fields of endocytosis and drug delivery especially within the remit of early endosomal traffic and the utilization of a variety of delivery systems for enhancing the cellular delivery of therapeutic molecules. These include systems based on polymers, peptides, exosomes and antibodies. I currently sit on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Controlled Release, Membranes, and The Young Darwinian.

Existing collaborations relevant to drug delivery

The School of Pharmacy, Nottingham University; Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen; UM Department of Chemistry, Technical University of Munich; Astra Zeneca.

I am also an invited member of this Drug Delivery Consortium: 2018-2022 COST- European cooperation in Science and Technology Delivery of RNA therapy.
