Biography

Postdoctoral researcher scientist with over 10 years of experience in the field of pharmaceutical and materials sciences. Proficient in R&D collaborating with interdisciplinary and international teams, project management, communication skills, presentations of complex findings, mentoring and training team members, scientific writing, and data analysis.

My research interests rely on the area of polymer biomaterials for application in the pharmaceutical sciences. My professional journey has been marked by synthesizing stimuli-responsive drug delivery polymer nanomedicines for tumor-targeted therapy, photodynamic therapy and tumor imaging.
