My research focuses on the molecular design, surface engineering, and functional optimization of nanostructured drug delivery systems, with particular emphasis on PAMAM dendrimers and self-assembling nanoparticles. I explore the relationship between nanoscale architecture and pharmacokinetic performance through synthetic chemistry, spectroscopic characterization, molecular modeling, and drug release kinetics. A key component of my work involves integrating computational tools to investigate drug–nanocarrier interactions at the atomic level, thereby supporting the rational design of delivery platforms. Currently, I am developing self-assembled nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy, with applications in antimicrobial treatments and cancer therapy. This includes the encapsulation and controlled release of photosensitizers, as well as targeting strategies to improve selectivity and therapeutic efficacy. I am especially interested in interdisciplinary approaches that bridge supramolecular chemistry, nanomedicine, and computational biophysics. In addition to research, I am committed to involving undergraduate students in systematic research activities that integrate theoretical concepts with hands-on experience, while also contributing to the advanced training of graduate students from diverse biomedical science backgrounds in physicochemical characterization techniques.
