Research Interests
Research projects typically involve
- Poorly water-soluble and BCS class 2 drug delivery using nanotechnology
- Biopharmaceuticals, peptides, and large molecules drug delivery using nanotechnology,
- Physicochemical characterization of formulations,
- in vitro cellular testing of drugs and formulations (safety, activity, and proof of concept)
- With potential collaborations on in vivo conceptualization and synthesis of ligands for drug targeting.
We collaborate widely with research groups in academia, industry, and research institutes.
