Project Timeline

Apr 2025 - Jul-2025

OVERVIEW

Developed a groundbreaking drug delivery approach that combines blood–brain-barrier–penetrating lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) with antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to correct gene splicing errors in ataxia-telangiectasia, presenting one of the first therapeutic strategies with the potential to move beyond symptom management toward a curative treatment for this rare and underserved neurodegenerative disorder.

HighlightS

  • Projected a 10% increase in safety and >20% reduction in mortality by benchmarking the proposed system against existing delivery approaches.
  • Designed and modeled 5+ nanoparticle release profiles with differential equations, optimizing lipid composition and release rates.
  • Achieved ~25% improvement in predicted brain-targeting efficiency through computational optimization of nanoparticle parameters.
