Welcome to a SweDeliver Webinar with Rebekkah Hammar, PhD student in the Oral drug delivery Work Package, presenting her project Influence of intra- and extracellular free drug concentrations in the human colon on local and systemic drug exposure and Ellen Brunzell, PhD student in the Parenteral drug delivery Work Package, presenting her project Self-assembly of therapeutic peptides.
At this autumn's seventh SweDeliver webinar, we meet Rebekkah Hammar, PhD student at the Department of Pharmacy, in her work aims to determine drug distribution in human colonoids and microbiota models respectively, in order to create a PBPK model of the colonic environment.
We also meet Ellen Brunzell, PhD student at the Department of Medicinal Chemistry, who in her research aims to increase our understanding of mechanisms behind self-assembly as way to predict peptide aggregation behaviour, and the significance of aggregation on biological response.
Researcher bios
Rebekkah Hammar studied Pharmaceutical Sciences and the German State Examination in Pharmacy programs at LMU Munich. Her bachelor thesis (2017) focused on theranostic inorganic nanoparticles. During her exchange semester in Umeå (2018), she studied microbial impacts on climate change and photocatalyzed synthesis of novel antibiotics. She then moved on to work with photoswitchable tubulin inhibitors in her master thesis (2020). As part of her licensing as a pharmacist, she interned at Roche in Regulatory Affairs (2021) before starting her PhD in Drug Delivery focusing on intracellular drug bioavailability in the colon.
Ellen Brunzell received her master of science degree in pharmacy from Uppsala University summer of 2020. She wrote her master thesis at Uppsala University in the pharmaceutical physical chemistry research group, and in autumn 2020, Ellen joined the same group as a PhD student.
