| Cristianne Rijcken studied pharmacy at the University of Utrecht and graduated as a pharmacist in August 2003. She followed the trajectory Pharmaceutical Technology (i.e. various internships at different pharmaceutical companies) as her primary interest lies in the industrial drug development. In September 2003, she joined the PhD project "Thermosensitive polymeric micelles with controlled stability". The main focus was the development, optimisation and characterisation of biodegradable thermosensitive polymeric micelles applicable for the delivery of various (hydrophobic) drugs, in particular phthalocyanines for photodynamic therapy. In September 2007, she successfully defended her thesis entitled: “Tuneable & degradable polymeric micelles for drug delivery: from synthesis to feasibility in vivo”. After this PhD period, Cristianne is exploring the opportunities to develop the scientific concept of the drug-loaded micelles into clinically applied products. | ||||
