guoyi.jiang@utoledo.edu
Education:
Ph.D., 2024 - Pharmaceutics, University of Houston, College of Pharmacy, Houston,
TX
M.Med., 2017 - Pharmaceutical Analysis, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China
B.S., 2014 - Pharmacy, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China
Research interests:
I aim to innovate cancer therapy by harnessing exosomes as programmable drug delivery
vehicles. My research integrates molecular engineering, tumor immunology, and bioanalytical
science to overcome biological barriers in pancreatic cancer. I design targeting peptides
to enhance specificity and minimize immune clearance. Through advanced models and
pharmacokinetic tools, I translate bench discoveries toward personalized medicine.
My goal is to bridge nanotechnology and oncology for smarter, safer therapeutics. |
