Research Activities
My research aims to develop a paradigm-shifting
gene delivery nanotechnology to effectively deliver nucleic acid vaccines to
immune cells in the lymph nodes for achieving high antibody production efficiency.
My goal is to make safe vaccines to combat seasonal influenza and future pandemic,
as well as new effective cancer immunotherapies.
Research Keywords
Researching in the following areas:
Vaccine development, Nanotechnology, Adjuvant development
Techniques/Expertise
I have strong expertise in the synthesis of nanoparticles
for targeted gene delivery. I have developed different methods to make
nanoparticles with controlled size, shape, and surface properties for targeted
delivery of siRNA, mRNA, pDNA to tumours, spleen and lymph nodes. This was achieved
by overcoming many in-vivo gene delivery barriers.
