  Integration of feedback control loops in pHEMA for spatio-temporal drug release on demand. In vitro and in silico methods were utilized to interrogate fundamental release rate phenomena and optimize release response by controlling intrinsic (drug loading, porosity, enzyme kinetics) and extrinsic properties(microsphere size, delivered dose) of the polymer-drug conjugate.
