He is a PH.D. Student at Erlangen-Nuremberg University, Germany. His current research direction is "Enhancing the protective efficacy of flavonoids against inflammatory bowel disease via nanotechnology" Flavonoids own multiple healthy benefits, such as anti-oxidant effects, reducing inflammation, prevention of mutation, and anti-cancer activity. However, the clinical application of flavonoids is unsatisfactory due to their low bioavailability. Based on it, our lab utilized polymers (PLGA, Eudragit S100) to fabricate PH-sensitive polymeric nanoparticles loaded with flavonoids, and found that these nanoparticles can greatly improve the protective effect of flavonoids on inflammatory bowel disease. In the future, we will utilize more novel polymers to prepare nanoparticles loaded with flavonoids or other phytochemicals. With more tolerance and less side effects, phytochemicals can treat a lot of chronic diseases, but low bioavailability limits their clinical use. Fortunately, polymeric nanoparticles are able to overcome the drawbacks of the phytochemicals. Therefore, our current research direction has huge potential and broad prospects.
