David Waite

Dr David Waite has a PhD in Ocular Drug Delivery and an MPHARM degree in Pharmacy (Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland). David has significant experience in the development and characterisation of formulations for sustained release of small molecules and proteins to the eye. As part of a 3 year PhD Project he has developed and characterised multiple injectable formulations that form implants in situ, prior to being photocrosslinked, to provide long-term, sustained protein delivery to the posterior segment of the eye. He also has significant expertise in formulation development and characterisation, development and validation of drug quantification methods, protein analytical methods, bioactivity determination and biocompatibility assays. He has authored a review paper on periocular drug delivery, with research papers in the pipeline (subject to patents) and presented posters at several conferences.
