Developed intranasal to brain in vivo animal model
drug delivery platform that allows therapeutic proteins to bypass the blood brain barrier. Designed key ELISAs and DELFIAs to detect sub-nanomolar quantities of delivered proteins in rat tissues. Built and directed a team of skilled laboratory animal technicians to execute complex in vivo experiments. Managed in vivo work at all levels; wrote all IACUC protocols.
