His primary scientific interests are in Drug carrier, Drug delivery, Polymer, Dosage form and Chemical engineering. The various areas that he examines in his Drug carrier study include Liposome, Photodynamic therapy, Monoclonal antibody and Polysaccharide. Robert Gurny has researched Drug delivery in several fields, including Surgery, Debridement, Biocompatibility, Self-healing hydrogels and Pharmacology.

His Polymer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Polyester, Polymer chemistry, Dissolution, Chromatography and Drug. His research integrates issues of Mononuclear phagocyte system, Nuclear chemistry, Bioavailability, Photosensitizer and Lactic acid in his study of Dosage form. His Chemical engineering study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Membrane, Vinyl alcohol and Phase.

His most cited work include:

  • Mechanisms of solute release from porous hydrophilic polymers (3357 citations)
  • Structure and interactions in covalently and ionically crosslinked chitosan hydrogels for biomedical applications (1532 citations)
  • Structure and interactions in chitosan hydrogels formed by complexation or aggregation for biomedical applications (698 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Robert Gurny spends much of his time researching Polymer, Drug delivery, Pharmacology, Dosage form and Drug carrier. His work deals with themes such as Orthoester, Polyester, Chemical engineering and Polymer chemistry, which intersect with Polymer. Robert Gurny mostly deals with Chitosan in his studies of Chemical engineering.

As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Drug delivery, concentrating on Biomedical engineering and frequently concerns with Surgery. His study on Dosage form is covered under Chromatography. His Drug carrier study combines topics in areas such as Nanoparticle and Controlled release.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Polymer (19.56%)
  • Drug delivery (18.24%)
  • Pharmacology (15.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Pharmacology (15.38%)
  • Surgery (9.67%)
  • Chromatography (14.73%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Robert Gurny mostly deals with Pharmacology, Surgery, Chromatography, Lactic acid and Nanocarriers. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Immunosuppressive drug, Antibody, Cornea and Aqueous solution. His Surgery research also works with subjects such as

  • Biomedical engineering, which have a strong connection to Self-healing hydrogels, Chitosan and Hyaluronic acid,
  • Biocompatibility that connect with fields like Biochemistry.

His Chromatography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Size-exclusion chromatography and Bioavailability. His Nanocarriers study contributes to a more complete understanding of Drug delivery. His Drug delivery research includes themes of Ring-opening polymerization, Nano-, Alkoxy group and Polymer chemistry.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Long term performance of polycaprolactone vascular grafts in a rat abdominal aorta replacement model (235 citations)
  • Coupling ultra high-pressure liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry: Constraints and possible applications (109 citations)
  • Polymeric micelle nanocarriers for the cutaneous delivery of tacrolimus: a targeted approach for the treatment of psoriasis. (84 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Pharmacology, Surgery, Nanocarriers, Micelle and Chromatography. His Pharmacology research incorporates themes from Cyclosporin a, Cornea and Solubility. His Surgery research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of In vitro and Biomedical engineering.

Robert Gurny interconnects Biocompatibility and Chitosan in the investigation of issues within Biomedical engineering. The study incorporates disciplines such as Polymer and Lipophilic drug in addition to Micelle. Drug delivery is closely connected to Lactic acid in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Ethylene glycol.
