Current Activities: My research involves developing
thermosensitive lipid drug carriers for controlled release of chemotherapeutic
drugs in tumors. The purpose is to limit exposure of the drug to healthy parts
of the body and to maximize therapeutic efficiency.
Why Case? The BME department at Case is top-ranked
and the size of the department lends to having a great social scene. Also,
due to the excellent medical school and proximity of University Hospitals,
any project is possible with the collaboration of the adjunct professors in the
hospital. Furthermore, the BME department has an excellent selection of interesting courses.
Advice for Applicants: Be prepared to spend a lot of time
on class-work during your first year. Early on, you should also be reading a lot of
journal articles so that once you and your advisor have a great idea you can´t wait to
get started on, you are already familiar with the state-of-the-art. Though daunting
at first, reading articles becomes easy and enjoyable with time so don´t be afraid to
make it a habit in the beginning!
