معرفی
Joanne Mary Heade serves as a Guest Researcher in the Department of Pharmacy at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in drug delivery and biophysics of biopharmaceuticals within the Drug Delivery and Biophysics of Biopharmaceuticals research group.
Education:
- PhD in Oral Drug Delivery from University College Dublin (Awarded 15 June 2021)
- MSc in Oral Drug Delivery from University College Dublin (Awarded 1 December 2015)
- BSc in Pharmacology from University College Dublin (Awarded 25 June 2014)
Research Focus: Dr. Heade pioneers advanced oral delivery systems for peptides and hydrophobic drugs, developing innovative carriers like whey protein beads, nanostructured lipid carriers, and ionogels. Her expertise integrates in vitro intestinal models with ex vivo assessments to optimize permeation enhancers for safe, effective therapeutic delivery—particularly targeting insulin and levosulpiride. Current work emphasizes molecular engineering of branched peptides and permeation-enhancing formulations.
Publication Trends: Her 2021–2025 research demonstrates consistent innovation in overcoming intestinal barriers for peptide therapeutics, with recent studies achieving breakthrough results in insulin delivery potency through structural modifications of cell-penetrating peptides and novel carrier systems. This trajectory highlights growing industry relevance in biopharmaceutical formulation.
Research Affiliation: Actively contributes to the Drug Delivery and Biophysics of Biopharmaceuticals group, driving collaborative projects on biodegradable delivery platforms and permeation mechanisms.
