Jessica Rosenholm on the use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles to improve drug delivery

As an expert in the field, Jessica Rosenholm spoke to us about her work in mesoporous silica nanoparticles and drug delivery, discussing improvements and challenges the field faces today.  Jessica Rosenholm earned her D.Sc.(Tech.) degree in 2008 with thesis title: “Modular design of mesoporous silica materials: towards multifunctional drug delivery systems”. In 2015, she was appointed Professor in Pharmaceutical Development at the Pharmaceutical Sciences Laboratory, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Åbo Akademi University, Finland. Her current research interests involve the development of nanoformulations for a broad range of cargo, e.g. hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs, biomolecules, and imaging agents; synthesis of...
