Corinna started her PhD at the School of Pharmacy in 2020 as part of the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Transformative Pharmaceutical Technologies. After completing two 3-month training project she joined the groups of Professor Gareth Williams and Professor Steve Brocchini for her PhD. Her research project explores advanced delivery systems for protein and peptide therapeutics. Particularly, she focuses on the development of pulsatile delivery systems for teriparatide – a peptide used in the treatment of osteoporosis. The current available treatment requires daily injections. The vision of our approach is to develop a platform that would reduce the frequency of injection and thereby improve patient experience.
Corinna remarked that “it was an immense pleasure to attend the UKICRS 2024 and showcasing my PhD research. This being my second time at the conference; it was lovely to catch up with colleagues, make new connections, discussing innovative ideas, and staying updated with the latest advances in controlled release and drug delivery. Having won the presentation prize is extremely honouring and rewarding and an incredible end to a fantastic PhD journey.” CDT in Transformative Pharmaceutical Technologies: https://www.transpharmtech-dtc.ac.uk/ |
