Jia Zhao serves as a Research Fellow at the Yale School of Public Health, Yale University, specializing in advanced drug delivery systems and nanotechnology for oncological and neurological applications. Their work bridges pharmaceutical sciences, polymer engineering, and clinical therapeutics to develop innovative solutions for cancer treatment and brain disorders.
Research focuses on:
- Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers activated by tumor microenvironment conditions (pH, ROS, glutathione)
- Brain-targeted delivery systems for brain cancer and stroke therapy
- Enzymatic synthesis of biodegradable polymers for controlled drug release
- ROS-amplifying chemo-sonodynamic combination therapies
- Biodegradable contraceptive implant technology
Recent publications (2020-2024) reveal a strategic emphasis on overcoming biological barriers through multi-stimuli responsive materials, particularly for brain tumor treatment where blood-brain barrier penetration remains challenging. Key innovations include glutathione-consumable nanoparticles for enhanced chemodynamic therapy and polymeric systems enabling endosomal escape in mRNA delivery. The research consistently integrates polymer chemistry with oncology to address drug resistance mechanisms in aggressive cancers.
