      Hey erhpls123,

      Unfortunately, I don’t make drugs.

      It’s my job to design new drug delivery devices that inject human cells (that have been collected from donors or grown in a lab) into patients to treat injuries and diseases. My time normally gets split between researching existing ideas and then developing them into prototypes and testing them.

      When doctors or scientists have a drug that they need to get to somewhere in the body they get in touch with me and I help them out.

      My work profile page and what I’m up to can be seen here: http://www.epsrc-regen-med.org/our-team/research-team/dr-alex-lyness/

      Also there are some photos of me at work on my IAEGMOOH profile here: /healthj14-zone/profile/alexlyness

      Hope that clears things up 🙂
