Research focuses on developing diagnostic/therapeutic compounds for chronic wounds and cancer treatment, including micellar formulations, upconversion phosphors, and BODIPY-based photosensitizers. Current work emphasizes non-antibiotic wound healing interventions and targeted drug delivery systems.

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in nanoparticle synthesis, spectroscopic analysis, and in vitro testing, with applications in dermatology and oncology. Key collaborations include researchers from MatTek® and institutions in South Africa.
