Research Interests: Protein liquid-liquid phase separations: Delivery of drugs and pharmaceuticals is always challenging while composing the oral and IV formulations. No matter how specific a given drug can be, the precise delivery to the target is critical to decrease the systemic toxicity. My goal is to take advantage of the protein liquid-liquid phase separations (LLPS) to deliver therapeutic RNA molecules including drugs and pharmaceuticals. We have currently shortlisted a few intrinsically disordered proteins that exhibit LLPS nature and are evaluating them with different formulations for the delivery of RNA therapeutics.
