Research Interests

My interests lie with RNA therapeutics—utilizing lipid nanoparticles to deliver si/mRNA into blood cells. This allows for high efficiency and targeted expression or knockdown of specific proteins in blood cells such as platelets or megakaryocytes, or solid organs such as the liver. This technology can potentially enhance the hemostatic capability of blood or prevent thrombosis, with implications ranging from treating deadly bleeding disorders to mitigating lethal hemorrhage. Moreover, secretion of exogenous proteins from blood cells could improve their efficacy; on the contrary, whilst prevention of unfavorable protein secretion could counter many degenerative diseases.
