Evanston, Illinois, United States
I am a PhD candidate in Materials Science at Northwestern University in Chad Mirkin's lab specializing in engineering lipid nanoparticle delivery systems for cancer immunotherapy. My work sits at the interface of materials science, oncology, and translational drug development. I am particularly interested in the strategic challenges facing biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies from therapeutic platform development to commercialization and healthcare innovation.
