I am currently working toward my PhD in biomedical engineering at Yale University. My thesis work is related to developing polymeric nanoparticle drug delivery systems for improving drug delivery in a couple of different systems.One system my thesis work focuses on is chemotherapy for Glioblastoma. I hope to assist in developing treatments methods that are.
