Nanofabulous Seminar: Development of Smart Micro-/Nano-formulations for Tumor-targeted Delivery
Treatment of tumors has been less desired due to the presence of tumor microenvironment (TME) comprising unique characteristics such as pH reduction, redox imbalance, dynamic hypoxia, complex vasculature, multidrug resistance, and so on, which barricaded the delivery of medicines to tumor lesions. My research aims to establish smart micro-/nano-technological systems that could either (1) ensure a safe delivery passage for medicinal formulations to penetrate the TME to reach tumor sites, (2) overcoming drug efflux-based multidrug resistance, (3) remodulate TME to enhance the imaging and therapeutic efficacies of tumors, or (4) encapsulate and promote sustained drug release. Overall, my research could contribute to the oncology field by providing innovative approaches that improve the combating of tumors.
