PhD Candidate/Graduate Assistant
University of Florida College of Pharmacy
I am Zijing Xu, a dedicated fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a concentration in Pharmaceutics. My research focuses on developing novel lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations to achieve targeted mRNA expression in specific organs, a cutting-edge approach with the potential to revolutionize therapeutic RNA delivery. With a robust educational foundation in chemistry and chemical engineering, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to my work, blending rigorous scientific inquiry with critical thinking and innovative problem-solving. Driven by a passion for translating scientific discoveries into real-world solutions, I am committed to advancing the field of drug and gene delivery, lipid nanoparticles, and nanotherapeutics, and aspire to make a meaningful impact in the pharmaceutical industry.
