Pharmaceutical Science Department, University Of Huddersfield

PhD stay entitle "The effect of the presence of biosurfactant on the permeation of pharmaceutical compounds through silicone membrane". Project focused on the evaluation of active principles (ibuprofen, benzocaine, benzoic acid, caffeine, lidocaine, procaine, tetracaine, indomethacin and salycilic acid) permeation in presence of biosurfactant through polydimethoxysiloxane (PDMS). This silicone membrane is employed as an in vitro alternative for animal testing.
