Organization profile

Profile Information

Research within this centre focuses on characterising and understanding the fundamental and applied aspects of biopolymers using a “from source to application approach” whereby biopolymers are extracted, chemically characterised, physically characterised, engineered and potential applications evaluated for use in drug delivery and as biomaterials. We also utilise commercially available biopolymers to develop new applications in pharmaceutical and biomedical technology. Specific areas of interest include:

Isolation and chemical characterisation of plant polysaccharides
Physical and mechanical characterisation of polysaccharides
Glycosaminoglycan characterisation
3D Bioprinting using low viscosity biopolymers
Particulate biopolymer gels for drug delivery
Physiologically responsive biopolymers
Development of bioactive hydrogel wound dressings
