Athens, Greece in 2000.
In
addition to his main academic appointment, Professor
Peppas has been active in international collaboration
with major research centers around the world. He has
served as a Visiting Professor at the University of
Geneva, Switzerland (Fall 1982), the California
Institute of Technology (Spring 1983), the University of
Paris (Fall 1986), the Hacettepe University of Ankara,

Germany (Spring 2001), the University of Santiago de
Compostela, the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain
(Spring 2001), and the Nanyang University of Singapore
(May 2005).
Peppas’
administrative experience and contributions have been
numerous and far-reaching. At UT Austin he serves as
Director of the Laboratory for Biomaterials, Drug
Delivery, Bionanotechnology, and Molecular Recognition.
Since 2003 he has been also the Director of the NSF
Program on Cellular and Molecular Imaging for
Diagnostics and Therapeutics.
At Purdue
he was the motive force behind the development of the
Biomedical Engineering Program at Purdue (1995), and was
successful in getting major Whitaker, NSF and NIH grants
for the University. These grants helped in the
establishment of the Department of Biomedical
Engineering. Peppas was also instrumental in
establishing a unique cross-disciplinary program in the
broader field of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical
Engineering, and Nanotechnology. In 1999 he founded and
became the first Director (1999-2002) of the NSF Program
on Therapeutic and Diagnostic Devices of Purdue
University.
Peppas'
research contributions have been in several areas of
bionanotechnology, drug delivery, biomaterials,
biomolecular engineering, mass transfer, kinetics and
reaction engineering, polymer science and biomedical
engineering. The multidisciplinary approach of his
research in biomolecular engineering blends modern
molecular and cellular biology with engineering to
generate next-generation systems and devices, including
bioMEMS with enhanced applicability, reliability,
functionality, and longevity. The fundamental studies of
his group have provided valuable results on biomaterials
design and development. Physiologically-controlled and
disease-responsive, feedback control-based devices
require the operation/function of electrical and
mechanical parts as a result of on-line measurement of
physiological variables of the body, blood or other
biological fluids. Peppas utilized the basics of
biomedical transport phenomena, control theory, and
kinetic behavior to design novel devices and to optimize
their behavior in the body or in contact with the body.
Adjustment of appropriate components of these devices
was based on simple or sophisticated control or other
physiological based models. Peppas and his group are in
a unique position to be able to provide prototypes for
direct medical testing. To that end, they have
investigated the biocompatibility of all components of
these devices and have provided knowledge of cellular
response mechanisms that may be related to changes in
immunological status, physical tissue damage. Research
in physiologically-responsive devices has sought to show
how it is possible to use classical and biomedical
engineering principles, mathematics, transport phenomena
and control theory to design devices and artificial
organs, often based on "intelligent materials," which
are responsive to changes in the surrounding
environment. Peppas developed feedback control devices,
such as glucose-sensitive microsensors that can respond
to abnormal glucose levels by releasing incorporated
insulin to the blood at desired rates. Such feedback
control systems could be perfected for use in treatment
of diabetes. In addition, he developed
temperature-sensitive devices which can be used for
treatment of malaria by release of antipyretics, etc.
Peppas is
internationally known for his work on the preparation,
characterization and evaluation of the behavior of
compatible, crosslinked polymers known as hydrogels,
which have been used as biocompatible materials and in
controlled release devices, especially in controlled
delivery of drugs, peptides and proteins, development of
novel biomaterials, biomedical transport phenomena, and
biointerfacial problems. Peppas’ polymer research has
examined fundamental aspects of the thermodynamics of
polymer networks in contact with penetrants, the
conformational changes of networks under load or in the
presence of a diluent, the anomalous transport of
penetrants in glassy polymers, and the kinetics of fast
UV-polymerization reactions. In the field of controlled
release, his group has provided the fundamental basis
for a rational development of such systems. In addition,
his work has led to a series of novel controlled release
systems known as swelling controlled release systems, a
series of pH-sensitive devices for drug delivery and a
wide range of bio- and mucoadhesive systems. Other
biomedical work of his group had dealt with
understanding of transport of biological compounds in
tissues, analysis of polymer/tissue interactions, and
understanding of the behavior of biomembranes.
His
research has led to the development of a number of
biomedical polymers and devices. For example, Peppas was
the first to develop the freezing-thawing technique for
preparation of novel poly(vinyl alcohol) gels in 1975.
This technique led to a number of novel biomedical
materials. His group pioneered the use of hydrogels in
drug delivery applications, including epidermal
bioadhesive systems and systems for the release of
theophylline, proxyphylline, diltiazem, and oxprenolol.
The first applications of this work were made public in
1979. Using intelligent polymers as early as 1984,
Peppas and his group were the first to use such
pH-sensitive and temperature-sensitive systems for
modulated release of streptokinase and other
fibrinolytic enzymes. His group has also developed novel
buccal and vaginal controlled release devices.
More
recently, his group has announced new inventions of oral
insulin delivery systems and new biomaterials. More
recently, his group has announced new inventions of oral
insulin delivery systems and new biomaterials. These
devices release insulin orally, “protecting” the insulin
throughout its transport in the stomach, upper small
intestine, and, eventually, blood, and bypassing
diabetics’ need for several daily injections. Peppas’
group has shown that these new systems exhibit very high
bioavailability. This is the first time that an oral
system has been shown to be effective for oral delivery
of proteins, especially insulin. In fact, the same
technology has been used for the transmucosal (oral,
buccal) delivery of calcitonin (for treatment of
osteoporosis in postmenopausal women) and
interferon-alpha (for cancer therapy). Finally, Peppas'
group has invented new materials for hard,
oxygen-permeable contact lenses, and for reconstruction
of vocal cords.
He has
been a member of numerous NSF, NIH and other federal
panels and has served on various committees that have
defined programmatic activities of the government. Among
other committees he is presently a member of the
Nanotechnology Technical Advisory Group of the
President's Council of Advisors on Science and
Technology.
Peppas is
the author of 1,025 publications, 320 abstracts and 35
US and international patents. He is the coauthor or
coeditor of 31 books and volumes, including the
three-volume Hydrogels in Medicine and Pharmacy (CRC
Press, 1987), the monograph Pulsatile Drug Delivery
(Stuttgart, 1993), two books on Biopolymers
(Springer, 1994) and the monograph Molecular and
Cellular Foundations of Biomaterials (Academic
Press, 2004). In addition, he has given more than 240
invited seminars and 880 scientific presentations in 32
countries.
