Personal profile

Research interests

Driton’s research interests centre around understanding and overcoming the biological barriers to improve drug delivery and enable injection-free administration of biological drugs (peptides, proteins, nucleic acids). As part of this, he has specific interests in drug delivery systems, including nanomedicines and extracellular vesicles (exosomes), that potentially enable injection-free delivery. He is also interested in drug delivery for diseases of the gut, including Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Finally, aspects of Driton’s research relate to the creation of improved (more predictive) in vitro models for use in drug discovery and delivery research, including intestinal organoids. The overarching aim of Driton’s activity is to improve patient outcomes through translational drug delivery research.
