Amanda Pearce presents at Macro2018

Amanda Pearce shared the Grant’s research with the audience at the Macro 2018 World Polymer Congress in Cairns, Australia.

Dr Amanda Pearce who is a Post Doc on Research Challenge 2 (Systems Based Advanced Drug Delivery) of the EPSRC Programme Grant in Next Generation Biomaterials Discovery, shared the Grant’s research with the audience at the Macro 2018 World Polymer Congress in Cairns, Australia. Amanda discussed the effect of polymer architecture and size on biological fate and received a lot of good feedback. She told the story of her work in the Programme Grant really well and was a great ambassador for the Programme Grant.

Amanda has been involved in two publications on the work in the Programme Grant for far:

• Taresco, V., Alexander C., Singh N. and Pearce A.K. Stimuli-responsive pro-drug chemistries for drug delivery. Advanced Therapeutics 2018doi.org/10.1002/adtp.201800030.
• Pearce, A. K.; Travanut, A.; Couturaud, B.; Taresco, V.; Howdle, S. M.; Alexander, M. R. and Alexander C. Versatile routes to functional RAFT chain transfer agents through the Passerini multicomponent reaction. ACS Macro Letters. 2017, 6, 781-785.

She is also no stranger to presentations having spoken at many other events recently including Pint of Science in Nottingham in May.
