Dr Sreekanth Pentlavalli
EPSRC funded Research Fellow
Sree is involved in the development of a novel peptide-mimetic hydrogel platform for use as a long-acting injectable drug delivery systems for diseases with poor medication adherence (e.g. HIV/AIDS).
Dr Sophie Coulter
EPSRC funded Research Fellow
Sophie's work involes the study of peptide hydrogels as multifunctional materials for combined HIV prevention-contraceptive drug delivery. Sophie graduated with a First Class Honours Masters degree (MPHARM) from the School of Pharmacy at Queen's University Belfast in 2015.
