Dr Driton Vllasaliu

Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutics at Kings College London

Speaker

Driton is a pharmacist and gained his PhD at the University of Nottingham. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutics at King’s College London. Driton’s research interests centre around overcoming the biological barriers to improve drug delivery and enable non-invasive delivery (e.g. oral) of biological drugs, which currently require administration by injections. As part of this, he has specific interests in drug delivery systems, including nanomedicines and extracellular vesicles. Aspects of Driton’s research also relate to the creation of improved (more predictive) in vitro gut models for use in drug discovery and delivery research. The overarching aim of Driton’s activity is to improve patient outcomes through translational drug delivery research
