Biography

Abdul holds the position of Professor of Pharmaceutics at the UCL School of Pharmacy, University College London. Abdul's research sits at the interface between pharmaceutical science and gastroenterology, forging links between basic science and clinical outcomes. He is an international authority on oral drug delivery and absorption, and has published over 300 papers, book chapters, abstracts, and patents. He leads a large and multi-disciplinary research group, and the goal of his work is to further the understanding of gastrointestinal physiology by fundamental research. So far, this knowledge has been translated into the design of new technologies and improved disease treatments, many of which are currently in late stage clinical trials. Abdul was the recipient of the Young Investigator Award in Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Technology from the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS), and is the only non-North American scientist to receive this award. He was also the recipient of the 2014 Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences (APS) award.
