Additional information
This collaborative paper with colleagues from the field of pharmacy is highly significant as it represents a novel route to rationally engineer and characterise therapeutic crystals for delivery to internal lung surfaces and thus strengthens the argument for using simulated pulmonary surfactant monolayers to produce respirable therapeutic drugs. The new measurement information it provides is important as it offers great potential to develop new drugs that can be targeted more efficiently to the deep internal surfaces of the lung. This paper led to a subsequent publication and new industrial collaborations.
