About
I am a pharmaceutical scientist with experience spanning the pharmaceutical industry and academic research, specializing in drug delivery, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), and translational pharmaceutical sciences. My research focuses on developing advanced delivery systems that bridge formulation science with molecular biology to improve therapeutic outcomes.
My scientific journey began in pharmaceutical formulation development and has expanded to include lipid nanoparticle engineering, extracellular vesicle-based delivery, molecular and cellular biology, preclinical research, and computational analysis of large-scale transcriptomic datasets. These experiences have allowed me to approach scientific questions from both experimental and data-driven perspectives while developing a strong foundation in translational research.
Throughout my career, I have worked on formulation development, nanoparticle characterization, molecular biology techniques, and multidisciplinary research projects in both industrial and academic settings. I like working on developing and optimizing lipid nanoparticle formulations, investigating how formulation and process parameters influence physicochemical characteristics and biological performance, and translating these findings toward clinically relevant drug delivery strategies.
I am particularly interested in advancing RNA therapeutics, lipid nanoparticle technologies, targeted drug delivery, pharmacometrics, and systems pharmacology. As genetic medicines continue to transform healthcare, I hope to contribute to the development of scalable delivery platforms that improve the precision, safety, and effectiveness of next-generation therapeutics.
I believe impactful science is driven by curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning. I enjoy working in cross-functional teams, solving challenging scientific problems, and building technologies that move innovative therapies from the laboratory to patients.
