Singapore-based NanoMaterials Technology Pte Ltd (''NMT''), together with the University of Sydney, has been awarded an Australian Research Council Linkage Grant, with a total project funding of US$333,000. This is for research into the high gravity precipitation of nanoparticles for pulmonary drug delivery.
This collaborative project, headed by Associate Professor Hak-Kim Chan from the Faculty Pharmacy of the University of Sydney and Dr Jimmy Yun from NMT, aims to explore the huge market potential of drug delivery by inhalation aerosols using nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can penetrate deeper into the lung where they deposit and dissolve faster for enhanced therapeutic effects. The project will focus on both the production process and the particle properties for aerosol administration.
