areas of expertise
Dr Abdullah is an associate Professor in Pharmaceutics. His research focuses on developing lipid-based nanoparticle carrying small molecules such as anticancer and antibiotics to enhance their efficacy and bioavailability.
Key topics include:
- The use of chemical and natural permeation enhancers to promote delivery of drugs through biological membranes (intestine, skin, cornea and nasal).
- The use of lipid-based drug delivery systems (liposomes, niosomes, nanoemulsions and solid lipid nanoparticles) to solve problems associated with drug’s solubility and absorption.
- The development of novel amphiphilic polymers and utilize them to produce self-assembled polymeric micelles for drug delivery.
He gained experience in the field of nanodrug delivery systems through extensive work with reputable professors and by supervising various PhD and MSc students.
