Dr Maryam Malekigorji

School of Pharmacy

Dr Maryam Malekigorji is a lecturer (education) and Programme Director for BSc Pharmaceutical Science Programme in China Queen’s College (CQC).

As a pharmacist with research background in pharmaceutics, I am committed to delivering high quality teaching in various BSc and MPharm modules. I act as the School Ethics Designated Reviewer and CQC Staff-Student Consultative Committee Liaison Officer. I have led the introduction of a number of key interventions which have brought about improvements in educational outcomes in CQC, including the use of flipped classroom blended with team-based learning approach, classroom response system and room of the future (MashMe) video collaborative platform.

The focus of my research is the development of a range of multifunctional nanoparticles and their translation into medical therapies. I have particular interest in the preparation and evaluation of hybrid metallic nanoparticles as nano-heaters and thermoresponsive carriers for diagnosis and therapy of pancreatic and prostate cancers.
