Hessam, Li and honorary member Abhishek are at Drug Delivery to the Lung, sneakily talking about spraying stuff up noses and avoiding the lung all together.
Hessam gave his first major oral presentation on trying to spray viscous materials up the nose to form retentive medicines. He was terrified but did a sterling job regardless. Here he is looking like he’s just set off some fireworks, but are actually spray plumes from increasingly viscous vehicles.
Abhishek was presenting his PhD work on thermoreversible gels made from our funky branched copolymer stabilized emulsions. Because we can make these materials switch from a liquid to gel with heat they seem to be good candidates to form nice spray plumes at room temperature, then change to a retentive gel at body temperature. You can read about them HERE.
