Biography

Professor Imran Saleem is a Professor in Nanomedicine within the School of Pharmacy & Biomolecular Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, UK. He has been working in and has published numerous papers in the area of nanocarrier drug delivery systems since 2006. His research is aimed at developing novel nanocarrier delivery systems for targeting agents to their site of action instigating mucosal vaccination, with particular emphasis on non-parenteral routes of delivery such as oral. He has over 10 years’ experience in the area of nanoparticle formulation and drug delivery systems, and has published extensively (80+) in peer-reviewed journals, conference abstracts and book chapters. 

Research interests

My research group transgresses multiple disciplines including formulation, drug delivery, nanotechnology, polymer science, chemistry, cell and molecular biology, and have published extensively in peer-reviewed journals, conference abstracts and book chapters. The groups work is involved in the application and understanding of novel nanocarrier systems in overcoming biological barriers for the targeted delivery of small molecules and macromolecules (proteins, peptides, siRNA, miRNA) for human and veterinary use.
