Rate My Professor Rima Caccetta

Her research focuses on pharmacology, drug discovery, and delivery systems, particularly transdermal delivery of therapeutic peptides, acyl lipidation effects on epidermal permeability, skin penetration enhancement via technologies like Dermaportation, and antioxidant properties of dietary phenolic compounds such as those in red wine polyphenols and tea on lipoprotein oxidation. Current interests integrate diabetes mellitus management through herbal sources like Teucrium polium, atherosclerosis, psychotropic medication use in autistic individuals, community pharmacists' understanding of autism spectrum disorder, probiotics applications in autoimmune diseases, and haemocyte morphometric characteristics in Western Australian freshwater crayfish. Key publications include 'The use of psychotropic medications in autistic individuals (21 years and younger) in Western Australia: A preliminary investigation' (2024), 'Insulinotropic effect of Teucrium polium; Identification of potential mechanistic drug targets' (2024), 'Teucrium polium: Potential Drug Source for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus' (2022), 'An evaluation of community pharmacists’ understanding of autism spectrum disorder: a cross-sectional study in Western Australia' (2019), and 'Acyl lipidation of a peptide: effects on activity and epidermal permeability in vitro' (2016). With over 1,400 citations across 21 publications, her contributions advance antidiabetic therapies, neurodiversity research, and skin biology.
