PEARCE POLYMER GROUP

We are an interdisciplinary Research Lab based at Loughborough University. We investigate the use of functional polymer materials to tackle important challenges in healthcare. These polymer materials have applications as drug delivery devices, molecular imaging agents and responsive probes for monitoring changes in local environments. Our research spans fundamental through to applied studies, and include training in aspects of organic and polymer synthesis, materials and particle characterisation, biological cell culture, microbiology and cellular imaging.
