Developing Orodispersible Films for Paediatric Antiemetics
My project focused on creating orodispersible films, thin strips that dissolve on the tongue, as a new way to deliver anti sickness medicines for children going through chemotherapy. I also spoke with families at GOSH, which gave me a real understanding of the daily struggles behind the science.

My name is Kimberly Gan, and I study Medical Innovation and Enterprise at UCL.
For my summer Laidlaw Scholarship research project, I explored the development of orodispersible films designed to improve the treatment of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in children. Based at the UCL School of Pharmacy and in collaboration with Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in London, my project combined hands on laboratory work with direct patient engagement.
