Speaker

Prof. Ben Boyd is a colloid and physical chemist with PhD from the University of Melbourne. After industry experience in the explosives and pharmaceutical industries, he commenced an academic position at Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MIPS) at Monash University in Australia and concurrently holds a Novo Nordisk Laureate Research Fellowship, based primarily at the University of Copenhagen. His research focuses on colloidal and structural aspects of lipids and lipid self-assembly during digestion, and his group is active in developing new synchrotron and spectroscopy-based characterization approaches for lipid and solid-state systems. He is an elected Fellow of the Controlled Release Society, and the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists. He has held leadership positions across a range of scientific societies, most recently as President of the Controlled Release Society and President of the Australasian Colloid and Interface Society. He has also sered as co-editor of the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, and was Editor for Asia for Drug Delivery and Translational Research.Biography: Prof. Ben Boyd is a colloid and physical chemist with PhD from the University of Melbourne.
