Large Dose Drug Delivery – Sustained Release

A long-acting DAA system (LA-DAAS) has the potential to safely and consistently deliver DAA therapy to patients with good adherence and quality of life by decreasing the frequency of dosing, with the goal of ultimately providing single dosing. A coil-shaped gastric resident system (GRS) was developed which, due to its dimensions and mechanical properties, can […]

Inflatable Metamaterials

Creating new biomaterials with shape memory or surface switching properties and developing controlled release systems that can be magnetically, ultrasonically, or enzymatically triggered to increase release rates. Synthesizing new biodegradable polymeric delivery systems which will ultimately be absorbed by the body and investigating the mechanism of release from polymeric delivery systems with concomitant microstructural analysis […]

Large Dose Drug Delivery – Pulsatile Release

Pulsatile drug delivery systems are developed to deliver drug according to circadian behavior of diseases. The product follow a sigmoidal drug release profile characterized by a time period of no release (lag time) followed by a rapid and complete drug release. Thus drug can be delivered at right time, in right  amount and at right […]
