My research, within the Aston Institute of Material Research, focuses on understanding the behaviour of materials for use in the body or as a medical device. Particular aspects of interest are :

• novel systems to deliver drugs in a controlled manner, from a hydrogel carrier, to the location where the drug is required within the body. This also includes vehicles that are “friendlier” in administering the drug, reduce the need for hospitalisation or prolong lifespan of antimicrobial efficacy e.g. ocular drug delivered by a contact lens, medicated wound bandage that induces less trauma, antimicrobial nanoparticle complexes.

• transport properties of salts, nutrients and other species through hydrogels for applications related to artificial membranes (e.g. renal and albumin dialysis) and organs.

• design of hydrogels for therapeutic applications (e.g. wound dressings, ostomy adhesives, tissue scaffolds and electrodes) using conventional and sustainable materials.

• novel hydrogel and medical device processing systems and methods (e.g. additive manufacturing).

Closing Date is 31st January 2023. Please email Dr Mahomed via the "contact expert" link above for further information.

Open to applications from candidates interested in undertaking research in:

• hydrogel polymers
• biomaterials
• sustainable materials
• dialysis membranes
• materials for us use in the body and as tissue or organ scaffolds or substitutes
• vehicles for drug delivery
• novel antimicrobial systems
• wound dressings and ostomy adhesives
• additive manufacturing (3D Printing) of medical materials

Open to consultancy opportunities within the medical device industry. Strength in co-ordination and  implementation of projects between R&D, quality and production teams. Skills include:

• working knowledge of ISO 13485 and of scientific regulations, such as REACH, CalP65, BfR, as well as health and safety and waste (hazardous waste, WEEE and RoHS) regulations.

• familiar with Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC, ISO 14971 for risk management and ISO 10993 for biological evaluation of medical devices.

• trained in Agile for PQM.
