Catherine TULEU, PhD

Professor in Peadiatric Pharmaceutics

UCL School of Pharmacy

E-mail : c.tuleu@ucl.ac.uk

Catherine Tuleu  (Reader, University College London School of Pharmacy) is  a UK-qualified French pharmacist.  Her first experience at UCL (The School of Pharmacy, University of London then and  until 2012) was as a postdoc student, and then a research assistant in the Department of Pharmaceutics with Professor Michael Newton. After a stint as a lecturer at Kingston University, she returned to UCL in January 2003 as Pfizer Paediatric Drug Delivery Lecturer for the then newly established Centre for Paediatric Pharmacy Research.  Catherine has traditionally been interested in gastrointestinal drug delivery, particularly colonic targeting, but since 2003 her main focus of research has been on drug delivery systems for neonates, infants and children. “ In the recent years, says Catherine, my research has focused on the most challenging paediatric subset: neonates – with a focus on those in low resource settings, as well as formulating for rare and neglected diseases.” She has been involved in various projects ranging from repurposing drugs, designing fast disintegrating tablets for a nipple shield to dose babies while breastfeeding, taste masking to exploring the rectal route for antimicrobial drug delivery, and gaining knowledge on the acceptability of  flexible solid oral dosage forms, such as orodispersible films, dispersible tablets and multiparticulates. She has also been working on establishing methods to assess the taste of medicines in vitro, part of an emerging  research field: sensory pharmaceutics^TM  She was recently promoted and  not only  she joins the minority of female professors but she also becomes the first Professor of Paediatric Pharmaceutics.
