Similarly, the development of next-generation microbicides, offers burgeoning opportunities to create biomaterial combinations that can adapt to the acidic and mucosal intravaginal environment to provide multipurpose (contraceptive and viral) prevention modalities. Beyond these core research goals, I am excited to pursue collaborations involving the development of novel delivery systems for a wide range of pathologies including: cancer progression, virus infection, and delivery to generally challenging physiological environments.
