Research Summary:

I am actively researching into the physiology of drug delivery with the purposes of: - Developing technologies to improve delivery of pharmaceuticals for better patient outcomes. - Improve the pace of getting therapies to patients who need them. The research focus is on the use of nanoparticles (NPs) to deliver genetic medicines to the central nervous system (CNS).

Why did you choose to attend PULSe:

PULSe provides a diverse set of training groups to discover my interests. I managed to be exposed to and shadow different chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical techniques during my lab rotations, to find what I really loved working on.

About Me: (Hobbies and Interests when not in lab):

I am a tech nerd, but not too nerdy. I do not know coding, but I like to code and mod my PC games and mobile technologies. I also have a great collection of consumer electronics, from a first-gen iPad mini running iOS6, to a 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini, the smallest phone Apple has ever made.
