Meenakshi Arora

Dr. Arora is an Associate Professor in the Department of Translational Science and Medicine, College of Community Health Sciences (CCHS). Her ability to learn new concepts quickly, and motivation to solve problems regardless of difficulty serve her well in research. Her current interest is receptor-mediated drug delivery stemmed from the fact that complex mixtures can be separated using chromatographic techniques, a topic she earned her PhD for. Over the years, she has been involved in transdisciplinary research settings that involve bioanalytical & supramolecular chemistry, and toxicology. Her current research involves bespoke polyester synthesis for customized receptor-mediated drug delivery or otherwise, and their use in treating various human and veterinary diseases.
