Biography
Work in Dr Peppas’ laboratory focuses on the use of intelligent biopolymers for drug and protein delivery under conditions of external physiological triggering mechanisms. In addition, his group is developing novel transmucosal and oral delivery systems for insulin, interferon-beta and calcitonin and is studying the potential of developing novel transmucosal systems for siRNA delivery.
