Implementation of wireless power transfer and communications for an implantable ocular drug delivery system
This paper resulted from an industrially funded project (Senju, Japan; www.senju.co.jp/english/, Baljean.Dhillon@ed.ac.uk, £640k) to develop a drug delivery system, capable of implantation into the human eye. This highly interdisciplinary work involved clinicians, chemists and electronic engineers. A preliminary publication of the results (DoI:10.1049/iet-nbt:20070022) won the 2008 IET Nanobiotechology Premium. Further research on coil design for wireless power transfer has been undertaken, e.g. DoI:10.1109/TMAG.2010.2093534. This paper contributed to the award of the £4.3M EPSRC Programme Grant (EP/K034510/1, www.see.ed.ac.uk/~afm/IMPACT/information/flier1.pdf).
