Welcome to “Delivery and Controlled Release Technologies” (DCRT) Laboratory. Our expertise lies in encapsulation techniques to enable for controlled and sustained release of the encapsulated agents, and materials characterization. Our goal is to translate our cutting-edge technologies for commercial applications. The techniques we employ may include matrix, film-based, or particulate technologies. To achieve this, we collaborate with scientists and companies across the globe. We invite you to tour our website and to contact us if you have any queries. Thank you! Joachim Loo PhD |
