Graduate Research Assistant
University of Nebraska Medical Center
I am a graduate student in the Medical Sciences Interdepartmental Area (MSIA) Program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. My research focuses on developing long-acting injectable formulations for chronic diseases, particularly opioid use disorder. I specialize in the design and evaluation of nanoformulated therapeutics in preclinical models. My work involves strong analytical expertise, including ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), to assess pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, and drug stability. Through this research, I aim to improve therapeutic efficacy and patient adherence by advancing long-acting drug delivery platforms for sustained treatment of chronic health conditions.
