Research
My research is focused on cancer drug resistance and targeted drug delivery. My doctoral dissertation Cellular Delivery of TRAIL to Treat Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer was born out of passion for treating a disease that disproportionately affects African American men, and men in my family. I evaluated cancer drug resistance in 2D and 3D prostate cancer cell culture environments which led to 2 recent publications I am so proud of. Currently, my research focuses on the evaluation of novel nano- and microparticles for therapy in neutrophilic, acute inflammatory diseases and colorectal cancer.
