- Additional information
- This publication introduces a new method to control drug release in the body using 3D printing by manipulating the surface area to volume ratio of tablets using unprecedented complex tablet designs. It uses cost-effective and highly scalable inkjet printing technology, which has considerable promise to make the production of personalised medicine a reality. This approach has attracted further collaboration with AstraZeneca (email on request) and underpinned a £5.5M Prosperity Partnership award (EP/S035990/1).
