Zeeshan Ahmad

Zeeshan obtained his first degree (Pharmaceutical Chemistry, with Honours from Queen Mary, University of London) and his PhD (EPSRC Scholarship) from the EPSRC Biomedical Materials IRC (also Queen Mary, University of London). He has held several prestigious Fellowships (EPSRC, The Leverhulme Trust and The Royal Society) and has worked in several Universities (Queen Mary University of London, University College London (UCL), University of Portsmouth, De Montfort University and The University of Manchester) which includes numerous Schools of Pharmacy in the UK.

His research is highly interdisciplinary (Pharmaceutics, Biomaterials, Advanced Engineering, Advanced Materials and Engineering & Manufacturing) with focus on emerging themes. He has an active research group and is currently supervising national and international students (~6 PhD students). To date he has supervised 24 PhD students to successful completion (national and international). Alumni from his research group work across both industry (Pharmaceutical and Healthcare) and Academia (national and international). He has published >200 peer reviewed research outputs and has presented at >300 events.

As well as leading his own research group, he has led a large Pharmaceutical Technology Group (>15 academic staff) with diverse interests cutting across a range of pharmaceutical subject areas (from manufacturing to dosage engineering). He has initiated several recognised initiatives nationally within the field. In addition to receiving national awards and honours, he has developed several technologies which are now available commercially. 

Our research group’s interests are:

• Transdermal Drug Delivery (e.g. Microneedles and other devices) and Wound Healing Technologies
• Advanced Pharmaceutical Structures Nanoparticles, Nanofibers and Microbubbles
• Novel Cancer Therapy & Drug Delivery Systems (Advanced Materials & Technologies)
• Novel Immunotherapies & Dosage Forms
• 3D Printing of Biomaterials & Drug Delivery Systems
• Advanced Pharmaceutical Engineering (e.g. Electrospinning, Electrospraying, Microfluidics, 3DP, Micromoulding, Wet Chemical Engineering Design and several others) and Manufacturing (Processes and Scale)
• Biomaterials, Bio-interfaces & Tissue Engineering
• Devices & Biomedical Technologies
• AI, Machine Learning, Robotics and Automation Enhancing existing and emerging drug delivery technologies, materials and models via coupling with emerging computational concepts
