Research Areas

Research Overview

Dr Perrow’s Research Program is focused on developing novel nanostructures for site-specific drug delivery. Her projects are based on nanotechnology as applied to the development of innovative nano-sized drug carriers for the discriminate delivery of cytotoxic anti-cancer drugs to cancer cells but not healthy cells. These carriers are designed to deliver their therapeutic payload to specific sites in the body and release the drug at controlled rates. Her program of work includes (but is not limited to) the development of: (i) dual-drug encapsulated polymeric micelles to overcome multidrug resistance in cancer (ii) 3D drug-eluting polymeric scaffolds for the localized treatment of pancreatic cancer and (iii) uPA/uPAR and HER-2 targeted liposomes for the treatment of HER-2 positive breast cancer.
