Biography
Dr. K. Kesavan is a well-versed nanotechnologist, with expertise in developing nanoparticulate systems for delivering lipophilic drugs to eye for the treatment of ocular diseases. His group developed HP-β-CD-based mucoadhesive pH induced hydrogel system and mucoadhesive microemulsion of dexamethasone for ocular delivery to treat uveitis in rabbit eye model. His research group recently studied the ion activated hydrogel system and phase transition microemulsion for ocular delivery to treat keratitis in rabbit eye model. Recently his group published a paper in ocular selfmicroemulsifying drug delivery system of prednisolone for effective treatment of uveitis in rabbit eye model. Currently, his group working on the development of the nanoparticulate drug delivery systems for ocular drug delivery, which would offer the advantages of decreased dose and dosage regimen, sustained release, improved patient compliance, and enhanced safety profile.
