Victoria obtained her MPharm and PhD at the University of Nottingham.  She previously worked as an early development and formulation scientist in the Pharmaceutical Industry and as a clinical Pharmacist in the NHS. She started as a lecturer in Pharmaceutics and Pharmacy Practice at the University of Hertfordshire in January 2012. Her current research interests include in vitro modeling of inhaled therapeutics, with a particular focus on the role of drug transporters on permeability across the respiratory mucosa.  She is also investigating biopharmaceutical aspects of other biological barriers, namely of the skin and gastro-intestinal tract and collaborating with other groups to determine cellular toxicity of nanoparticles and novel chemical entities.
