Translated the discoveries made during my PhD into a platform technology for drug delivery that will enhance our ability to treat human diseases.

My thesis research focused on identifying the key factors that control the self-assembly behavior of a new type of biomaterial called ssDNA-amphiphiles. I found that nanoparticles with a variety of shapes, including spheres, ribbons, and hollow tubes, could be formed depending on the design of the individual ssDNA-amphiphiles. We hope to use these nanoparticles to create more effective drug delivery vehicles capable of carrying small molecule and DNA-based therapeutics to specific areas of the body to treat diseases.

I scratched an itch I had during my PhD to get involved in technology commercialization by acting as a Technology Analyst at the UMN tech transfer office. I performed secondary market research, produced written reports detailing patentability and commercial potential of University technologies related to medical devices, pharmaceutics, etc. and worked with Technology Managers to develop strategies for IP protection and commercialization.

I spent two months in Central America building and deploying medical equipment to hospitals, worked alongside hospital staff to fix damaged medical equipment and helped improve repair operations. It was an incredibly rewarding and eye-opening experience as many of the hospitals and clinics struggled to maintain basic sanitary conditions let alone have fully-functioning medical equipment to use to treat patients.
