Oral Delivery

Oral Delivery

Oral administration is considered the most favorable route of administration than injection because of convenience and compliance by patients, resulting in improved treatment efficacy, but it is challenging for biologic drugs like insulin. In our lab, we designed a novel multi-stage nanoparticle delivery system designed to overcome all of the barriers of the gastrointestinal tract and provide efficient oral delivery of insulin. In which the nanoparticles will protect the biologic from the adverse environment in the gastrointestinal tract, get actively transported across the intestinal barrier, and rapidly release their payload to effectively deliver and maximize the efficacy of the biologic. This technology is expected to have a significant impact on diseases that are currently limited to injection-based therapies, notably diabetes.
