Postdoctoral Fellow
Northeastern University
My name is Weizhou Yue, and I am currently a research associate in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Northeastern University and had my Ph.D. from the Pharmaceutical Sciences graduate program in the College of Pharmacy at the University of Rhode Island (URI). During summer 2023, I was an ORISE fellow at the Division of Product Quality Research within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for continuous manufacturing studies of nano-/micro-particle and emulsion products. I obtained my Master of Science degree in Pharmaceutical and Chemical Sciences from the University of the Pacific in 2017. Prior to joining URI, I was a research assistant in Dr. Stanley Prusiner’s Neuroscience Science laboratory at the University of California San Francisco. I have worked on several research projects involving the development of advanced drug delivery systems for hard-to-treat diseases such as uveal melanoma, glioblastoma and vaginal infections. I have attended five American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) PharmSci 360 annual meetings since 2016. And I was awarded the prestigious International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC) Graduate Student Award in 2023 and the AAPS Travelship supported by AstraZeneca in 2021.
