Pharmaceutics Special Issue on Veterinary Medicine

Posted on by

Submissions are open!

Drug delivery to animals for prevention and treatment of disease, fertility modulation, as well as pest control, is a fascinating field of research that benefits from an inter-disciplinary approach. The aim in compiling this Special Issue of Pharmaceutics on the topic of “Veterinary Medicine” is to draw together experts with knowledge of animal species from diverse fields including physiology, pharmacology and pharmaceutical science and zoology, who are engaged in contemporary research to solve the challenges of drug delivery to animals. 

Submissions (original papers and reviews) that contribute to understanding and applications of relevance for delivery of therapeutics to animals and animal health are welcomed for this Special Issue.  Please get in touch if you would like to contribute.

These cuties

Version 2

Our group has been using these cuties in our latest work on antioxidants.  It is the zebrafish – a very useful model species.  Isabella used them in her work and we have given a few conference talks on the topic – a paper to follow.

A piece of cake

Ellen Ou has presented her final seminar in the School to share the findings of her research during her PhD. The tradition is to celebrate the occasion with a piece of cake.

We heard about the identification of the main antioxidant compounds Ellen identified in extracts from leaves of Sonchus oleraceus using a neat online HPLC assay that allows simultaneous separation of compounds with an assessment of the antioxidant activity of each peak. Ellen also shared the results of an investigation into the stability of the 3 main antioxidants under different storage conditions. The highlight of the talk was when Ellen presented her most recent data where the S. oleraceus leaf extracts were shown to reduced cell stress, being both protective and also helping cells to recover from induced stress.

Well done on a great seminar Ellen.A piece of cake
