Otto is an #opensource Franz diffusion cell autosampler #robot that we have developed using #3Dprinting technology. The Franz diffusion cell is a standard laboratory apparatus used to study drug absorption in the #skin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5v0...

New collaborative paper out: We developed self-assembling hydrogels derived from a native skin protein to deliver a collagen stimulant in the skin, with potential wound healing and cosmetic applications. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @newcastleuni.bsky.social @nclpharmacy.bsky.social

We're recruiting a #PhD student to develop a minimally invasive microsampling technique for the early detection and prevention of skin cancer. Funded by the MRC DiMeN DTP. Applications close 4th December 2025. Enquiries welcome. Details here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Very happy to see this book chapter published. Thanks to my co-authors for a wonderful collaboration and the editors for the invitation to contribute. #microneedles #nanoneedles #cosmeceuticals

I visited the Northwest Minzu University, China, and spoke about our transdermal #microneedle technology - in Mandarin. Thanks to Dr. Ding GongTao for his kind invitation and generous hospitality. I look forward to many fruitful collaborations ahead! 非常荣幸受邀到西北民族大学参与有关微针的学术交流。万分感谢丁功涛副教授的盛情邀请及全程关照。

This is how drug release from our microneedles looks like in vitro. Captured for the first time on video. From our latest paper, read it here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ij.... More in LinkedIn post: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... @nclpharmacy.bsky.social

New paper out 📄👓: What can cosmetic #microneedle products teach us about pharmaceutical microneedle product translation and commercialisation? An international 🇬🇧 🇲🇾 collaboration. Read the OA paper here: doi.org/10.1007/s133... @nclpharmacy.bsky.social

We are pleased to announce the appointment of the new Pro Vice-Chancellor of @medicalsciencesncl.bsky.social @qanstee.bsky.social Find out more ⬇️ www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articl... #WeAreNCL

We built a robot to automate drug permeation studies. Otto is in charge of the Franz diffusion cells in our lab now. Read about it here: blogs.ncl.ac.uk/kengng/news/.... The scientific paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.xp...
