Dr Paul Joyce is Head of the Translational Nanomedicine & Biotherapeutics Group at the University of South Australia where his research focuses on harnessing drug delivery approaches for transforming therapeutic outcomes across a wide range of diseases, including cancer, mental health, and antimicrobial resistance. Working at the interface of materials science and drug development, Dr Joyce engages closely with key stakeholders who enable clinical and commercial translation of his research, including the pharmaceutical industry, clinicians, and health consumers. Dr Joyce’s leadership within this field is evidenced through his publication of over 70 peer reviewed papers in leading international journals, 3 book chapters, and 3 granted international patents for novel nanomedicine inventions. Further, Dr Joyce is a Director of the Australian Controlled Release Society, the leading society for delivery science, and has been awarded over $9M in funding to support his research activities, including serving as a current Hospital Research Foundation Fellow and Cancer Council SA Fellow.

Designing, engineering and applying innovative drug delivery solutions that overcome key biopharmaceutical challenges for the benefit of the wider community. Cutting edge biophysical and synthesis techniques are employed to develop novel strategies and technologies that are well-positioned for rapid clinical translation.
