Biography
James Hitchcock is currently focusing on colloidal science, in particular metallic nanoparticle manufacture, liquid core/polymer shell microcapsules, catalysts and metal electroless deposition. James’s 2015 paper ‘Long-Term Retention of Small, Volatile Molecular Species within Metallic Microcapsules’ successfully demonstrated, for the first time, the long term micro-encapsulation of small volatile molecules which lead to 8 patents being successfully filled and a ‘Research Excellent Award’. James is currently working to utilise this technology as a drug delivery vehicle successfully winning 2017 Welcome Trust ISSF Award and going through to the second round of a ‘Cancer Research UK Multidisciplinary Project Award 2017’ grant application.
