OBJECTIVE: Seeking a position in health care field

QUALIFICATION SUMMARY

Nano-scale drug formulation development

Itraconazole (synthetic triazole antifungal agent) nanosphere formulation for

intravenous administration sustained release using polymer:

This brand new formulation appears to be a promising injectable itraconazole

formulation for future clinical application.

Novel nanoconstruct of gold nanorods (GNR)/anti-carbonic anhydrase IX antibody

(CA IX) conjugates photothermal treatment of tumor without damage of normal

tissue:

This project recently was awarded NIH grant of $453,000.

Operation knowledge of analytical instrumentation

High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC/UV):

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS):

UV-VIS spectrophotometer:

Zetasizer:

Analytical method development, validation of analytical methods

Outstanding written and verbal communication, multiple project management

Can work under dynamic, fast paced, collaborative environment with efficiency

EXPERIENCE

Research & teaching assistant Texas Southern University, Houston, TX, 2009 ~ 2014

Ph.D Thesis: Development novel nano medicine for drug delivery and cancer photothermal therapy

(Advisor: Dr. Huan Xie)

Developed itraconazole (ITZ)-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanospheres

(PLGA-ITZ-NS) as a new sustained-release formulation for intravenous administration:

Desired PLGA-ITZ-NS around 200 nm was successfully developed by the

nanoprecipitation and evaporation methods, HPLC and LC-MS/MS method development

for assaying for ITZ in formulation and rat plasma, respectively. Pharmacokinetics study

showed optimal PLGA-ITZ-NS has a similar systemic bioequivalent to Sporanox while

providing a sustained plasma level.

Synthesized gold nanorods (GNRs), prepared and characterized stable GNRs/anti-carbonic

anhydrase IX (GNRs/anti-CA IX) conjugates for photothermal therapy in vitro and vivo study:

Successfully synthesized GNR with size of 30 x 10 nm, and characterized GNRs/anti-CA

IX conjugates; in vitro, binding efficacy of GNR/anti-CA IX to HT29 cells and

photothermal effect on HT29 cells; in vivo, establishing tumors in nude mice, Near

infra-red (NIR) laser photothermal ablation of tumor, which demonstrated great potential

of GNRs/anti-CA IX on localized photothermal treatment of tumor without damage of

normal tissue.

ChuZhou First People’s Hospital, China, 2002~2005

Anesthetist

3-year anesthetist residency experience in a first class general hospital. Working in a large scale

team and highly demanding environment.
