My research is focused on the chemistry-based methods, especially prodrugs, in drug delivery and targeting. Much of the research is currently focusing on exploiting the body’s natural mechanisms for transporting nutrients, the LAT1 and GLUT1 proteins, for targeted drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and cancer cells that express these transporters.
