Current research projects involve the development of injectable in situ crosslinking biodegradable hydrogels for the regeneration of cartilage and controlled release of anti-fungal agents and anesthetics such as amphotericin B and bupivicaine respectively. I also am examining the biocompatibility of unfunctionalised and surface modified nano- and micro- particulate mesoporous silica for applications in biotechnology such as protein drug delivery and cell tracking.
