Editorial: Penetration enhancement of topical formulations

I have been working with the MDPI editorial office to guest edit the Penetration Enhancement of Topical Formulations special issue in the open-access journal, Pharmaceutics.

The collaboration has now concluded and I have written an editorial for that issue, which has now been published:

Ng, K.W. Penetration Enhancement of Topical Formulations. Pharmaceutics 2018, 10, 51

Read the article

I thank the MDPI editorial office for the opportunity to be part of this effort. Special thanks go to MDPI editorial staffers, Felicia and Liane, who co-ordinated much of the work. It has been a most valuable experience for me, and I look forward to more future collaborations.

Back in production

I’m pleased to announce that, 2 months after the big move to Newcastle University @UniofNewcastle, the 4D Laboratory is back in production!

Today, the first batch of polymeric microneedle arrays rolled off the production line based in the School of Pharmacy @NCL_Pharmacy. The batch includes some new microneedle designs which we have not reported on before (until now, I guess). These microneedle arrays will now be used in some exciting new projects, which hopefully I will be able to share with you in the not-so-distant future. For now, please savour these teaser images:

New beginning

Some of you may already know that I recently moved to Newcastle University. In fact, I wrote a blog post about this on my first day in the new job. In that post, I promised that I would migrate the Dermal Drug Delivery & Diagnostics (4D) Laboratory blog to a new server.

The migration has begun today. This blog post represents the start of that migration.

Given my busy schedule early in the academic year, the migration is going to be a slow process if I get my priorities right. While this blog takes shape, the impatient may head to my university staff profile for much of the same information.

For a while, there’s going to be two blogs on the Internet dedicated to the 4D Laboratory — this one, and the previous one hosted by University of Brighton. I do not know when the previous one will be wiped off the Internet (frankly, I’m surprised that it is still available), but hopefully the site will be rebooted here before that happens.

Stay tuned!
