Research Interests

  1.      Irradiation controlled drug release from photosensitive polymeric membrane, nanoparticles, or other drug delivery systems (DDS). Novel DDS requires response to environmental factors, such as pH, heat, magnetic fields, irradiation, blood glucose and other molecules. Based on those responses, the release of molecules can be tuned according to the physical environmental changes after administration, or can even be controlled by factors out of body. Among those factors, irradiation is easily available and controllable in real life, and therefore very attractive.

  2.      Design and characterization of controlled drug delivery through non-invasive routes, including oral, gastrointestinal and transdermal DDS. A typical and widely-used invasive administration is injection, which causes pain of patients, extremely lowering their compliance. Besides, long term of injections may result physical injury. On the contrary, Non-invasive administrations, for example, oral solid formulations and transdermal patches, can obtain a higher compliance and therefore be more desirable.
