Postdoctoral Research Associate
University of Wisconsin Madison
I am Nikesh Gupta currently working as a Research Associate in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and have earned PhD degree from the University of Delhi, India in the area of Nanomedicines. My research interests are mainly focused on biomaterials and drug delivery systems (DDSs).
Currenlty, I am working on the fabrication of PEGylated-FUD/mFUD peptides for the treatment of bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis and mRNA-lipids based vaccines for cancer immunotherapy. I have expertise in various formulations such as long-acting formulations, polymers, lipids and ceramic/metallic nano-formulations for various pharmaceutical applications. Before joining the Pharmaceutical Sciences at the UW–Madison School of Pharmacy, I worked at the College of Pharmacy, University of Iowa on various research projects including mRNA-lipids based vaccines for cancer immunotherapy, long-acting polymeric formulations using HME for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, lipids-based drug delivery systems using microfluidics for cancer therapy and oral formulations for the treatment of leukoplakia.
