of these are nano sized so Nano Fire has become a major group within the Institute. So, modelling, nano fire, and then there is also work in the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences and where  Abdulbary Elhissi and Tony D'Emanuelle are working on nanocarriers such as liposomes, and dendromers  to trap certain anti-cancer drugs, and anti-asthma drugs for targeted delivery to affected region.  So this is not the development of new drugs, but rather improving the delivery systems from the point of administration to the point at which the drug becomes active.  Thus drug delivery is a strong group within Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences headed by Abdelbary Elhissi, and has a lot of interaction with other members of the Institute.  We have a large the number of PhD students, some of whom are looking at nano carriers for cancer and asthma type applications -- so this is another area of strength. We are also working with Mike Holmes and David Phoenix on peptides, proteins and membranes -- this forms another theme within the Institute. In summary of the above, they are all areas that have the common theme of looking at modelling with nano materials and nano carrier systems -- so the modelling group is the integral part of the Institute. There is also subsidiary work going on, for example looking at blood flow modelling with one of the PhD students, Richard Wain -- who is also looking at bone modelling.  I am also interested in looking at gait
