I am hiring a Postdoc to work on a 2-year industry-funded on intestinal permeation enhancers for fluxes of macromolecules. Ex vivo and in vivo GI bioassays will be used: Job post 016909 on the @ucddublin website https://t.co/HnvZxI8hIM. @UCD_Conway Closing date Feb 16.

We have a new open-access review out in ADDR on the safety of oral surfactants in dosage forms.

https://t.co/73AWH3S1vV I have a new review article out in March Issue of American Pharmaceutical Review.

I co-authored a just-published review with FDA authors and others on excipients in oral delivery systems

I have 2 fully-funded PhD posts available each for 4 years advertised on: https://t.co/oxfgz6waEj. One is on buccal delivery of peptides and the other is on an anti-inflammatory nanoparticle for arthritis. Funded by SFI CURAM Centre for Medical Devices. Closing date: July 15.

Delighted to be awarded a grant (PEPDELIVER) on oral insulin delivery from the Shared Island "North-South" grant initiative with co-applicant Prof Helen McCarthy (QUB) and collaborator Prof Nick Dunne (DCU) .@njdunne_lab, @DCUBiodesign @Prof_H_McCarthy, @pHionTx, @UCD_Research
