Dr. Gary Patrick Moss serves as Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutics at Keele University's School of Allied Health Professions and Pharmacy, holding key roles including Director of Studies for BSc Pharmaceutical Science, Lead for Pharmaceutics, and Undergraduate Electives Coordinator. He joined Keele in 2010 after industry experience at Unilever Research and prior academic appointments.
His educational background comprises BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees from Queen's University of Belfast, forming the foundation for his expertise in pharmaceutical sciences. These qualifications are complemented by professional certifications including Chartered Chemist status with the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Dr. Moss's research centers on percutaneous absorption mechanisms, with specialized focus on quantitative modeling of skin permeation, metal absorption through skin, and advanced imaging techniques for permeation enhancement analysis. His work bridges theoretical computational approaches with practical pharmaceutical formulation development, particularly in transdermal drug delivery systems.
Analysis of his publication record reveals a dominant trend in computational modeling applications for skin permeability prediction, featuring Gaussian Process regression and machine learning techniques. Concurrently, his research explores dendrimer-based permeation enhancers for antimicrobial applications and chlorhexidine delivery, demonstrating integration of nanotechnology with dermatological therapeutics.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Chartered Chemist, Royal Society of Chemistry (1996)
- Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) (2018)
- Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (2004)
Dr. Moss has supervised approximately sixteen PhD candidates across UK and Irish institutions while securing EPSRC funding for initiatives like the POEMS-network. His academic leadership extends to editorial roles including Co-Editor of the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (2018-2025) and organization of specialized conferences on skin absorption modeling.
He maintains active involvement in professional networks including the Skin Forum Group (serving as committee member since 2003) and the International Society of the Stratum Corneum, while contributing to pharmacy education through external examiner appointments at Strathclyde, Kingston, and Ulster universities.
