Dr Sheiliza Carmali

School of Pharmacy
Dr. Carmali's research sits at the interface of chemistry, biology, and material science to help engineer novel materials for biomedical applications. A strong interest is to use polymer-based strategies that can improve or add on new functionalities to biomacromolecules. Research has focused on the rational design of synthetic tools and protein-polymer constructs with enhanced stability and function, along with development of stimuli-responsive materials for protein drug delivery. Other areas of interest include the use of computational techniques to help understand and predict the impact of protein modification and/or protein – polymer interactions with the aim to help guide future experimental designs in biotherapeutics.
