- The paper reports interdisciplinary work between Polymer MNT and Pharmaceutical Engineering Science to develop mass producible microneedle drug delivery technologies. The paper promoted our activities in the wider microneedle research community which had limited approaches to tacking scale-up manufacturing challenges to translate the fundamental research into viable drug delivery and vaccination systems. The relationships built from this work have led to funding opportunities including EU MC ITN MICROMAN N° 674801 (€3.5M), Gates’ Foundation (£105k) and industrial R&D contracts with Renephra and Sabic (£320k). This is now a highly important strategic research area for the Centre.
