Our Research and Activities
The research in SweDeliver is executed in three work packages, each addressing different drug delivery challenges for administration via the parenteral, oral and pulmonary route. In a forth workpackage we address training and career development of our young researchers and partners.
Parenteral Drug Delivery
The overall aim in this work package is to develop new formulations and improved delivery systems for subcutaneous drug administration.
