  Nanyang Technological University

  Dec 2020 - May 2022

  Research project under the mentorship of Professor Raymond Lau and Professor Navin Kumar on nanoparticle drug delivery.Developed the drug carrier for inhalable Sars-COV-2 therapy GAPMER based drug with special characterisation to control aerodynamic diameter, provide mucolytic action and protect sensitive antisense genetic material.Designed and optimised the spray drying parameters, evaluated mucolytic performance of the drug carrier, ran multiple assays to quantify drug action • Worked under the mentorship of Associate Professor Liu Bin on an independent project to synthesize Metal-Organic Framework Materials for photocatalytic hydrogen production and gas adsorption.• Major focus of the project was to synthesize MOF-177, UiO-66, and Mg-MOF-74 and study their characteristics.
