the opportunity to apply these technologies to new therapeutic targets, payloads, and disease settings in collaboration with industry.
About
I hold a PhD in Chemical Engineering from MIT and an MPhil in Chemistry from the University of Cambridge. I completed my postdoctoral training in immunoengineering, and my lab develops drug delivery systems and studies how they interact with biological systems. My expertise includes polymersome design, targeted drug delivery, protein engineering, cytokine fusion proteins, immunoengineering, and evaluating how materials and therapeutics interact with cells. I work across materials development, in vitro testing, and preclinical animal models. I help identify ways to improve where therapeutics go in the body, which cells take them up, and how they affect immune function. I can support the design and evaluation of delivery strategies for inflammatory diseases, cancer, and transplant injury.
