Assistant Professor
University of Florida, Florida
I am an assistant professor at the Department of Pharmaceutics, University of Florida. Through my graduate training at the Johns Hopkins Center for Nanomedicine, I developed skills to synthesize and characterize nanoformulations to target CNS disorders. To expand the clinical impact of my research. I undertook postdoctoral training at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, where I solidified my foundation in immunology, cell engineering, and clinically relevant animal disease models. As an evolution from my postdoctoral training, the focus of my independent research program has shifted primarily to nanoparticle protein corona for enhanced drug delivery and immune modulation. To this end, we leverage materials chemistry, multi-omics, molecular biology, and immunology to determine the fundamental principles that govern nanoparticle’s interaction with immune cells; and to use this information in developing translatable nanotherapeutics as next-generation immunotherapy.
