CICaSS are a multi-disciplinary team of
physicists and engineers working at the
interface with life sciences and medicine.
Our goal is to produce creative technological
solutions to the outstanding biomedical
challenges of our time. To that end, we
proactively develop strategic, physics-driven
concepts, that are convergent with
emerging biotechnologies. Our present
focus seeks to exploit the power of
ultrasound for non-invasive drug delivery
and includes projects on:
- Nucleic Acid Delivery: Understanding,
and optimising, the delivery of short
interfering (si)RNA to counter skin
dysfunction.

- Engineered Microbubbles: for use as
generic targeting vectors carrying a range
of molecular payloads.
- Cavitation Physics: Investigating the
complexity of interactions that arise during
inertial cavitation so that future
bubble-therapies can be optimised.

Dec 2011 - Congratulations Dr Hans Rolfsnes!
Hans (left) has successfully defended his PhD
thesis after a 2 hour grilling by Professor Roy
Taylor of Imperial College and internal Dr Paul
Prentice (right), himself a graduate of the group.
