Christine Allen's research focuses on developing advanced drug delivery formulations for the treatment of a wide range of indications including cancer and osteoarthritis. The research is broadly divided into project areas such as oncology, the development of implantable drug carriers for sustained release, and exploring the therapeutic potential of cannabinoid compounds. Allen's lab designs formulations that enhance drug delivery specifically to tumours, utilizing thermosensitive liposomes that release drugs upon heating, thus overcoming challenges related to nanoparticle formulations and chemotherapy resistance. Collaborations with Pendant Biosciences Inc. and Avicanna Inc. involve developing polymeric materials for long-term drug release and designing formulations to improve the stability and efficacy of cannabinoids.
