Research Projects (Current and Past)
- My current research project is a study to improve the bioavailability of the antibiotic clarithromycin by developing a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS), which is a lipid-based formulation. The project is in an advanced stage
- I have also collaborated with other colleagues to investigate a number of natural gums for their potential as drug delivery and muco-adhesive polymers.
- Formulation and evaluation of cryptolepine-loaded gelatine nanoparticles for the treatment of malaria. This study was conducted during a PhD programme in 2009-2012.
- Development of a combined chloroquine and chlorpheniramine maleate granules to offset the chloroquine-induced itch in sensitive individuals. This study was conducted in partial fulfilment of an award of an MPharm degree in 2005.
