Abstract
Needle-free delivery of powdered drugs/vaccines to the epidermis of human skin is an exciting new discipline of science with a range of applications for commercialisation. However, despite recent advances in the field, little is known about the key physical and molecular biology interactions that occur once the particles are delivered to the skin. This project seeks to investigate these mechanisms with a non-invasive imaging system called Multi Photon Microscopy (MPM) configured especially for ex-vivo and in-vivo work with animal models and humans. The MPM system and laboratory will be commissioned. Studies will then be performed to explore and quantify the key physical and molecular biology characteristics ex-vivo and in-vivo.
