## Bincike
An nada Uchegbu a matsayin Shugaban Bayar da Magunguna a Jami'ar Strathclyde a 2002. Anan ta yi aiki akan haɗin kai na polymer, gano kayan da zasu iya samar da tsarin nanosystems .  Ta nuna cewa ana iya amfani da nauyin kwayoyin polymer don sarrafa girman vesicles.  Ta shiga Kwalejin Jami'ar London a 2006 a matsayin Shugabar Nanoscience Pharmaceutical Nanoscience a Makarantar Pharmacy.   Uchegbu yana jagorantar ƙungiyar bincike da ke binciken ƙirar ƙwayoyin cuta da adadin magunguna.  Ta tsara polymers waɗanda ke haɗa kansu cikin nanoparticles tare da kaddarorin da suka dace don jigilar magunguna.  Ta bincika yadda za a iya amfani da nanoparticles don isar da ƙwayoyi.  Uchegbu yana riƙe da haƙƙin mallaka da yawa don isar da ƙwayoyi,         da polymers masu dacewa.    Magungunan nata suna isar da kwayoyin halitta da siRNA zuwa ciwace-ciwacen ciwace-ciwace da peptides zuwa kwakwalwa tare da karfafa shan magungunan hydrophobic ta amfani da nanoparticles.  Tana binciken yadda za a iya amfani da nanomedicine don magance ciwan kwakwalwa.  A cikin 2018 ta kasance wani ɓangare na kyautar £ 5.7 miliyan Injiniyan Injiniya da Ilimin Kimiyyar Kimiyyar Jiki, Raman Nano theranostics, wanda zai yi amfani da nanoparticles na gwal don gano cuta da haske don lalata ƙwayoyin cuta.  Hakanan tana aiki tare da nanoparticles na maganadisu.
