Education and early career

Ijeoma Uchegbu grew up in Hackney, London, and South East Nigeria. [6] She studied pharmacy at the University of Benin, graduating in 1981, and earned her Masters degree at the University of Lagos, [7] but was unable to complete her PhD in Nigeria due to infrastructure difficulties in the 1980s.

"I came into science simply because after training as a pharmacist I wanted something a little bit more challenging to do. I thought that being a researcher would be a great place to start. As I did my pharmacy degree at Nigeria’s University of Benin, I did give research a try in Nigeria, but the infrastructure difficulties in the eighties made this virtually impossible. I came back to the UK, having emigrated 17 years earlier from the UK to Nigeria and started looking around for opportunities." [8]

She moved back to the UK and, as a mature student with three young children, [9] [10] completed her postgraduate studies at the University of London, graduating with a PhD in 1997. She was appointed a lecturer at the University of Strathclyde from 2002 to 2004.

Uchegbu has been elected President of Wolfson College, Cambridge, to take up the post commencing on 1 October 2024. [11]

Research

Uchegbu was made a Chair in Drug Delivery at the University of Strathclyde in 2002. Here she worked on polymer self-assembly, identifying materials that could form stable nanosystems. [12] She demonstrated that polymer molecular weight could be used to control the size of vesicles. [13]

She joined University College London in 2006 as a Chair in Pharmaceutical Nanoscience at the School of Pharmacy. [14] [15] Uchegbu leads a research group that investigate molecular design and dosage of pharmaceuticals. [16] She has designed polymers that self-assemble into nanoparticles with the appropriate properties to transport drugs. [16] She explores how nanoparticles can be used for drug delivery. [17] Uchegbu holds several patents for drug delivery, [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] and biocompatible polymers. [26] [27] [28] Her pharmaceuticals deliver genes and siRNA to tumours and peptides to the brain as well as encouraging the absorption of hydrophobic drugs using nanoparticles. [29] She is exploring how nanomedicine can be used to treat brain tumours. [30]

In 2018, she was part of a £5.7 million Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council grant, Raman Nanotheranostics, that will use gold nanoparticles to identify disease and light to destroy diseased cells. [31] She also works with magnetic nanoparticles. [32] [33]

Nanomerics

In 2010, Uchegbu with Andreas Schätzlein founded Nanomerics, [34] a pharmaceutical company that uses nanotechnology platforms to develop medicine. Uchegbu is the Chief Scientific Officer of Nanomerics, [12] developing structures that can transport antibodies that can cross the blood–brain barrier. [35] Nanomerics develop molecular envelope technology nanoparticles from amphiphilic polymers that self-assemble. [36] Uchegbu won the Royal Society of Chemistry Emerging Technologies prize for their molecular envelope technology in 2017. [37] .

Professional service

Uchegbu serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Controlled Release . [38] She has served as the scientific secretary of the Controlled Release Society. She is editor-in-chief of Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology. [39] She is on the healthcare strategy advisory team of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. She was involved in the University College London celebrations of the National Health Service turning seventy. [40] In 2007, she was chosen for the Women of Outstanding Achievement in SET photographic exhibition that was displayed at the Science Museum and the British Museum. [41]

In 2015, Uchegbu was appointed Pro-Vice Provost for Africa and the Middle East. [42] [43] She chairs the Africa and Middle East regional network at University College London (UCL), building partnerships and starting collaborative teams, welcoming international visitors and supporting student recruitment. [44]

Public Engagement and Equality and Diversity

Uchegbu is involved in public engagement and science communication and featured on BBC Woman's Hour discussing her research into how nano particles can be used to help deliver drugs to the body [45] , BBC Radio 4's The Life Scientific [46] and taken part in Soapbox Science , an international science outreach programme promoting women scientists and the work they do to members of the public. [8]

Uchegbu is also involved in equality and diversity activities and programmes, acting as the UCL Provost's Envoy for Race Equality [4] and featuring as the only Black British Role Model for the Women's Engineering Society. [3] She also serves on the University College London Race Equality Charter self-assessment team. [47] [48] She is part of the Black Female Professors Forum, representing one of the 55 female professors of colour and one of the 25 Black female professors in the UK in 2017. [49] [50]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dendrimer</span> Highly ordered, branched polymeric molecule

Dendrimers are highly ordered, branched polymeric molecules. Synonymous terms for dendrimer include arborols and cascade molecules. Typically, dendrimers are symmetric about the core, and often adopt a spherical three-dimensional morphology. The word dendron is also encountered frequently. A dendron usually contains a single chemically addressable group called the focal point or core. The difference between dendrons and dendrimers is illustrated in the top figure, but the terms are typically encountered interchangeably.

Targeted drug delivery, sometimes called smart drug delivery, is a method of delivering medication to a patient in a manner that increases the concentration of the medication in some parts of the body relative to others. This means of delivery is largely founded on nanomedicine, which plans to employ nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery in order to combat the downfalls of conventional drug delivery. These nanoparticles would be loaded with drugs and targeted to specific parts of the body where there is solely diseased tissue, thereby avoiding interaction with healthy tissue. The goal of a targeted drug delivery system is to prolong, localize, target and have a protected drug interaction with the diseased tissue. The conventional drug delivery system is the absorption of the drug across a biological membrane, whereas the targeted release system releases the drug in a dosage form. The advantages to the targeted release system is the reduction in the frequency of the dosages taken by the patient, having a more uniform effect of the drug, reduction of drug side-effects, and reduced fluctuation in circulating drug levels. The disadvantage of the system is high cost, which makes productivity more difficult, and the reduced ability to adjust the dosages.

Modified-release dosage is a mechanism that delivers a drug with a delay after its administration or for a prolonged period of time or to a specific target in the body.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">PEGylation</span> Chemical reaction

PEGylation is the process of both covalent and non-covalent attachment or amalgamation of polyethylene glycol polymer chains to molecules and macrostructures, such as a drug, therapeutic protein or vesicle, which is then described as PEGylated. PEGylation affects the resulting derivatives or aggregates interactions, which typically slows down their coalescence and degradation as well as elimination in vivo.

Nanoparticles for drug delivery to the brain is a method for transporting drug molecules across the blood–brain barrier (BBB) using nanoparticles. These drugs cross the BBB and deliver pharmaceuticals to the brain for therapeutic treatment of neurological disorders. These disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, depression, and brain tumors. Part of the difficulty in finding cures for these central nervous system (CNS) disorders is that there is yet no truly efficient delivery method for drugs to cross the BBB. Antibiotics, antineoplastic agents, and a variety of CNS-active drugs, especially neuropeptides, are a few examples of molecules that cannot pass the BBB alone. With the aid of nanoparticle delivery systems, however, studies have shown that some drugs can now cross the BBB, and even exhibit lower toxicity and decrease adverse effects throughout the body. Toxicity is an important concept for pharmacology because high toxicity levels in the body could be detrimental to the patient by affecting other organs and disrupting their function. Further, the BBB is not the only physiological barrier for drug delivery to the brain. Other biological factors influence how drugs are transported throughout the body and how they target specific locations for action. Some of these pathophysiological factors include blood flow alterations, edema and increased intracranial pressure, metabolic perturbations, and altered gene expression and protein synthesis. Though there exist many obstacles that make developing a robust delivery system difficult, nanoparticles provide a promising mechanism for drug transport to the CNS.
