Microfluidics in Pharmaceutical Sciences

Professor Dimitrios A. Lamprou (Ph.D., MBA) is the Chair of Biofabrication and Advanced Manufacturing at Queen's University Belfast. Currently, is the author of over 160 peer-reviewed publications, has over 450 conference abstracts and has given over 160 Invited Talks in institutions and conferences across the world. PubMed-based algorithms placed Prof Lampou in the top 0.07% of scholars in the world writing about microfluidics, in the past 10 years. Prof Lamprou has also been named in the Stanford University's list of World's Top 2% Scientists, for several consecutive years, for his research in Pharmaceutics and Biomedical Engineering. Dr Edward Weaver (PhD MPharm) completed his degree in pharmacy, at the University of Nottingham, before pursuing a PhD at Queen’s University Belfast. His doctorate research focussed on the sustainable microfluidic production of lipid nanoparticles, with a specific focus up the encapsulation of biologics. During his academic career, Edward has published over 20 manuscripts and has attended multiple conferences to showcase his work. He has a focus upon industrial scalability of various pharmaceutical media and is currently working upon improving scalable downstream manufacturing systems.
