An organized and detail-oriented cancer research scientist with a research focus on the design and synthesis of sustained release, long-lasting drug delivery system (DDS) for effective cancer treatment. Proficient in, and utilizes advanced techniques such as mammalian cell culture, nanoparticle synthesis, flow cytometry, fluorescent (confocal) microscopy, immuno-staining, and Spectrometry to support scientific project needs. Ultimately, I aim to apply my research experience and expertise in a leading research institute/drug formulation bio-pharmaceutical company to advance next-generation targeted DDS that could drive revolutionary drugs for cancer treatment.
