Development of self-plugging microneedle (SPM) for intravitreal drug delivery

Professor WonHyoung Ryu's research team in the Department of Mechanical Engineering developed a self-plugging microneedle for intravitreal drug delivery based on the thermal drawing method through joint research with the research team of Professor Jeong hun Kim in the Ophthalmology at Seoul National University. The results of this study were approved for publication in 'Advanced Healthcare Materials (Impact factor: 9.933, top 8.43%)' in February of this year.
