Name: Dr Asme Boussahel
Field: Life Sciences & Biomedicine
Specialisms:
- Pharmacy
- Drug delivery
- Tissue engineering
Research and qualifications:
- MPharm and PhD from the University of Nottingham
- Postdoctoral research associated at the University of Portsmouth studying nanoparticle-assisted delivery of drugs across the blood-brain barrier.
Returning to her research after a 5-year break, Asme’s Fellowship is entitled: “A Perfused Microfluidic In-Vitro Model of the Human Subcutaneous Tissue for Bioavailability Assessment”. This research will help to refine the ways in which treatments can be delivered for Multiple Sclerosis and various types of cancer using non-animal models that are cheaper and more efficient.
