University of Michigan
My name is Ji Li, and I am currently serving as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Michigan. I earned my Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Peking University in China, specializing in novel drug delivery and formulation development. During my doctoral studies, I concentrated on researching various nano drug delivery systems, including nanoparticles, liposomes, exosomes, emulsions, and other innovative approaches for delivering a wide range of therapeutic agents. These agents encompassed small molecules, peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids.
In my current role at the University of Michigan, my primary responsibilities revolve around conducting collaborative research in the realm of complex generic pharmaceutical products. This research involves a comprehensive understanding of the challenges associated with the development and approval of complex generics such as liposomes, polymer implants, creams, suspensions, and metered inhalers. Our overarching objective is to investigate how manufacturing processes and the sourcing of raw materials, including excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients, impact the analytical characteristics and in vivo performance of complex generic products.
