Research Interests
Bioorthogonal Chemistry
Refers to a set of chemical reactions that can occur inside living systems without interfering with native biochemical processes. Bioorthogonal reactions are widely used in imaging, drug delivery, and studying biological processes at the molecular level, significantly advancing biomedical research.
Pathogen-Host Interactions
This field explores how pathogens invade, survive, and replicate within a host while evading or manipulating the host's immune defenses. Understanding these interactions is vital for identifying the molecular mechanisms of infection, disease progression, and immune response.
Cell-Drug Delivery
Research in cell-drug delivery aims to improve the efficacy of treatments for various conditions, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and genetic disorders, by ensuring that drugs reach their intended targets at therapeutic concentrations while reducing off-target effects and toxicity.
