Funded Activity Summary

High Gravity Precipitation of Nanoparticles for Pulmonary Drug Delivery. This collaborative project aims to explore the huge market potential of drug delivery by inhalation aerosols using nanoparticles. It will apply cutting edge nanotechnology to develop new techniques using high gravity to synthesise particles of biomaterials suitable for inhalation. Nanoparticles can penetrate deeper into the lung where they deposit and dissolve faster for enhanced therapeutic effects. Successful development of the technology will position both Australia and the industry partner to take a lead in the application of this novel technology in pharmaceutical aerosols, and provides better inhalation therapy to benefit patients.
