1. Research Focus:
I’m a nanomedicine researcher with interdisciplinary experiences in nanotechnology and biotechnology. The focus of my research group will be on developing efficient nano-therapeutics to overcome the drug resistance by bypassing biological barriers. By merging advanced materials engineering and molecular biology, my lab aims to understand the key factors required in the design of precision nanomedicine, which not only are able to tackle drug resistance but also are co-capable of sustainable tissue engineering applications
