My research focuses on drug delivery in solid tumors. While many drug delivery strategies have been examined, even the most promising approaches leave much room for improvement. The primary objective of drug delivery strategies has traditionally been to decrease systemic toxicity while increasing drug delivery to the site of interest. However, the method of delivery must be adjusted to best suit the mechanism of action of the delivered drug, and additionally, the treatment must be planned in a way that would permit verifiable control of dosing. Such improvements are now possible, and I am very excited to work towards their implementation.
