Biography

During my PhD, I worked on synthesizing and characterizing PLA-based block copolymers for co-encapsulation of biologics and chemotherapeutics, and evaluated their efficacy against breast cancer and AML through in vitro and in vivo studies. This included extensive experience in cell culture assays, tumor model development, drug administration, and pharmacokinetics in mice. In my postdoctoral research, I focused on multifunctional metal oxide core–shell nanomaterials for near-infrared and tumor microenvironment-responsive combination therapy in triple-negative breast cancer, gaining expertise in chemodynamic, photothermal, and photodynamic approaches along with advanced inorganic nanomaterial characterization. Overall, my work has resulted in high-impact publications and a strong skill set in nanomaterial-based drug delivery, characterization, and biological evaluation in cancer nanomedicine.
