Research conference poster presentation at AAPS PharmSci360

AAPS PharmSci360 Conference Presentation

I had an incredible opportunity to present my research poster at #AAPSPharmSci360 in San Antonio under the Drug Discovery and Basic Research Forum! Humbled and honored that my poster was selected for a Merck-sponsored Special Poster Session on 'Translational Therapeutics and Targeted Delivery in Solid Tumors: From Mechanisms of Drug Action to Novel Delivery Platforms,' hosted by Melanie (Patel) Marota at Merck alongside four other outstanding posters. A heartfelt thank you to the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) for this platform and to my mentor Seetharama Jois for his continuous support and guidance.
