Focused on solving drug-delivery challenges
The research in my lab is focused on solving drug-delivery challenges at the interface of material and biological sciences. To this end, our current research is focused on developing oral pediatric drug-delivery systems using natural food protein biopolymers and localized drug-delivery approaches for breast cancer.
Improving health through prevention, management of diabetes, heart disease, stroke
Hunt, an associate professor, directs the Master of Public Health program within the Department of Allied and Population Health, arriving at SDSU in September 2019.
Scholarship from a clinical researcher’s perspective
