Victoria Hutter is a Professor of In Vitro Toxicology at the University of Hertfordshire, affiliated with the Pharmaceutics Department within the School of Life and Medical Sciences. She holds academic and professional memberships including the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS), and International Society for Aerosols in Medicine (ISAM). Her research focuses on in vitro modeling of respiratory, skin, and gastrointestinal drug delivery systems, with particular emphasis on drug transporters and epithelial permeability.
Education: MPharm and PhD from the University of Nottingham. Prior industry experience includes formulation science and clinical pharmacy roles. She has led/co-led 17 research projects since 2012, including EU-funded initiatives on in vitro test methods and inhalation safety.
Research interests span drug-permeability mechanisms, ABC/SLC transporters, and toxicity testing of nanoparticles. Teaching expertise includes Pharmaceutics and Pharmacy Practice. Collaborations involve developing novel co-culture models for ocular and lung toxicity assessment, and standardizing in vitro assays like TEER measurements.
Her recent work emphasizes high-content image analysis for macrophage responses, regulatory applications of microphysiological systems (MPS), and optimizing drug delivery systems using biomaterials like thermoreversible gels and eggshell membrane scaffolds.
