Welcome to SweDeliver Webinar with Xiguo He, PhD student in the Oral drug delivery Work Package, presenting her project Drug delivery platform for optimal intestinal absorption of oral antibiotics. A work carried out in close collaboration with the Uppsala Antibiotic Center and Per Hansson's research environment in Physical pharmaceutical chemistry.
At this autumn's fourth SweDeliver webinar, we meet Xiguo He, PhD student at the Department of Pharmacy, who in her ongoing research is developing a generic, nano-sized drug delivery platform. In her work, Xiguo currently focuses on engineering nanoparticles and loading liquid crystalline nanoparticles with antibiotics. The project also includes studies of the effect of the antibiotics on the microbiome with the aim to decrease adverse reactions in the gut.
Xiguo He's research is intergrated into the SweDeliver Oral drug delivery Work Package, an environment improving the design of drug delivery systems that fulfil the requirements for absorption from the small intestine and colon. Xiguo is carrying out her work in close collaboration with the Uppsala Antibiotic Center and Professor Per Hansson's research environment in Physical pharmaceutical chemistry.
Researcher bio Xiguo He holds her master of science degree in pharmaceutical modelling from Uppsala University, 2021. After graduating from the in vitro, in vivo and in silico modelling background, she returned to the Drug Delivery group as a PhD student to begin the journey of engineering nanoparticles for antibiotics.
