Follicular delivery

Selective targeting of the pilosebaceous unit¶

• We have demonstrated that polymeric micelles can be used to preferentially delivery drugs to the pilosebaceous unit.
• This enables targeted therapy of diseases such as acne and provides a means to reduce off-site side effects.
• We have developed an innovative method to extract the intact pilosebaceous unit from the skin that enables direct quantification of drug in the skin appendage.
