Faculty of Science

I obtained my Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in nanotoxicology where the evaluation of polymeric nanocarriers for pulmonary drug delivery was carried out using in vitro cell lines, from Liverpool John Moores University, and entitled 'Toxicology and Cellular Interactions of Polymer-based Nanocarriers for Pulmonary Drug Delivery '. Upon completion of my Ph.D., I have joined the FDD group as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Liverpool John Moores University, developing vaccines for inhalation delivery using nanocarriers.

My research is involving many interests from formulations of nanocarriers and microcarriers, drug delivery, toxicology, polymeric materials, cell biology, and toxicology. I have published many conference abstracts and presentations, book chapters, and peer-reviewed research articles. These publications contributed to the science pool by reviewing the up-to-date knowledge regarding the generated nanoparticle types so far, the nanotoxicological potentials of pharmaceutical, environmental, and occupational nanoparticles with a focus on the mucosal contact and pulmonary route of delivery. I had presented many talks and poster presentations to present my findings to the scientific community and challenge some of the commonly employed assays with a recommendation to improve the methods to accommodate for the nanoparticles' interference possibilities. I had provided a few pieces of evidence and cases where nanoparticles' interference with the assays has to be suspected and evaluated. Furthermore, formulating nanocarriers for vaccine delivery via inhalation or nasal delivery is a current focus of my postdoctoral research where developing novel vaccines to a variety of human and animal disease to aimed to facilitate non-injectable, self-administered, and cold-chain independent, of lower cost, and inducing higher mucosal protection vaccines.
