Pharma LPRC - Subcutaneous Injection Dynamics: Analyzing subcutaneous injection dynamics in situations

This student team will focus on cutting-edge pharmaceutical research in the discovery/development areas, aiming to advance global healthcare and to benefit patients worldwide. The team will have access to advanced research technologies and will develop tools and protocols to address critical research inquiries while working with faculty affiliated with the Eli Lily and Company and Purdue University Research Alliance Center (LPRC).

Professor Brett Meyers

Description:

Autoinjectors are widely used for subcutaneous drug delivery, but how their design affects drug distribution in tissue remains an open question. In this project, a team of students will analyze high-speed synchrotron radiography and 3D CT imaging data to investigate plume growth, spread direction, and depot morphology following injections. This project offers hands-on experience with biomedical imaging data and practical insights into improving drug delivery technologies.
