Ultrahigh-concentration biologic therapeutics enabled by spray drying with a glassy surfactant excipient A copolymer excipient enables stable, ultrahigh-concentration protein formulations for subcutaneous injection.

Spray-dried microparticles with a stabilizing polymer excipient enable ultra-high protein concentration therapeutics for subcutaneous injection, and could expand home use of these critical pharmaceuticals.

My research vision is to mechanistically define how polymer structure impacts biophysical phenomena, such as interfacial protein interactions and immune responses, to engineer accessible drug delivery technologies

So excited to introduce myself to this community and announce I'm officially on the faculty job market this year! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested in connecting about polymer science, drug delivery, biomaterials, immunoengineering, and global health!
