Design of new anticancer drugs by selectable intracellular organelle targeting: make for the mitochondria or turn left for the lysosome? (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mincher, D., Kamel, M., Mohammed, O., MacCallum, J., & Turnbull, A. (2024, June). Design of new anticancer drugs by selectable intracellular organelle targeting: make for the mitochondria or turn left for the lysosome?. Presented at EACR 2024: Innovative Cancer Science, Rotterdam, Netherlands

Introduction
Defining structural features that can control and pinpoint the delivery of drugs to specific sub-cellular organelles ofcancer cells offers the prospect of designing more potentand selective drugs that negate drug resistance, with less d...

The effectiveness of biomimetic chromatography based methods in predictions of human pulmonary drug absorption (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dillon, A., Orzek, D., MacCallum, J., & Russo, G. (2023, June). The effectiveness of biomimetic chromatography based methods in predictions of human pulmonary drug absorption. Poster presented at HPLC 2023

Nowadays immobilized artificial membranes (IAM) are commonly used for modelling drug
transport through biological lipid layers. In most published studies a compound’s lipophilicity
measurements are performed in isocratic conditions where a low pe... Read More about The effectiveness of biomimetic chromatography based methods in predictions of human pulmonary drug absorption.
