Smyth, Hugh D., Ph.d.
Associate Professor of Molecular Pharmaceutics and
Molecular Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery
Texas State University
United States of America
Biography
Work in Dr. Smyth’s lab focuses on the development of novel methods for drug delivery to the airways in health and disease. For example, his group investigates unique microparticle aerosols for controlled release, transformative inhaler and device designs, nanoparticle enhancers for drug transport, inhaled vaccines, and other areas of respiratory drug delivery. Translation of these technologies to the clinic is the long-term goal of the lab and is supported by developing a mechanistic understanding of the complex physical and biological systems.
