Research vision:
Transforming medical ultrasound into a platform for precision diagnostics and targeted therapies.
My research aims to bridge fundamental science, biomedical engineering, and clinical medicine by developing innovative ultrasound-responsive biomaterials for molecular imaging, targeted drug delivery, and theranostic applications. By integrating concepts from physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, and biology, I seek to understand and control the biointerface phenomena that govern the performance of these systems and enable their rational design.
Building on experience gained in internationally recognized translational research environments, my goal is to accelerate the development of clinically relevant biomedical technologies with potential for intellectual property generation, technology transfer, and commercialization. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and the training of future scientists and engineers, I aspire to advance precision medicine and contribute to innovative healthcare solutions that improve human health.
Why Ultrasound?
Ultrasound offers a unique opportunity to combine diagnosis and therapy within a single, non-invasive, and clinically accessible platform. My research seeks to expand these capabilities by engineering biomaterials that respond to acoustic energy, enabling new strategies for molecular imaging, targeted drug delivery, and precision medicine.
