A decrease in the pH of the liver’s microenvironment, often due to chronic inflammation and fibrosis, has prompted the need for pH-targeted drug delivery systems. Leveraging my MSc in nanotechnology, I am developing smart polymeric nanomaterials for antifibrotic drug delivery to treat liver disease. I also aim to utilize 3D printing and organ-on-chip technology to provide highly predictive in vitro models for studying liver disease progression, drug toxicity, and therapeutic responses.
