Associate Professor/Research Leader
University of Queensland, Australia
Dr Yousuf Mohammed is an Associate Professor and research leader within Frazer Institute the University of Queensland. He has been working within the field of Transdermal delivery, cosmetic dermatology, sensory perceptions, skin biophysiology, novel technologies and devices, microneedles and nanomaterials and has contributed significantly to the field. He is presently the Chair of the American Association of Pharmaceutical scientist's Topical Transdermal committee and an invited expert on transdermal products. In the recent years, his work has developed the conceptual framework to describe the physicochemical and structural characterisations of semisolid dosage forms, and demonstrated that these attributes (CQAs) directly and predictably modulate the rate and extent of drug delivery. His research has directly supported new paradigms for topical and transdermal drug development, with a corresponding modernization of regulatory standards. In the United States and Europe alone, more than 80 regulatory guidances and guidelines now recommend the use of these new techniques to develop topical and transdermal products.
