Rebecca Notman Group

We use molecular dynamics computer simulations to investigate biomolecular systems with a range of important applications in biomedicine, pharmaceutical science and materials science. A particular focus of our current research is on understanding the barrier and elastic properties of skin and strategies to enhance drug delivery through skin (transdermal drug delivery).
