Dhananjay Suresh, PhD

Dhananjay Suresh, PhD, is a researcher within the Department of Radiology leading cancer research and developing the next generation of nanotherapeutics. His current research is focused on developing anti-cancer precision medicine using smart biomaterials, nanotechnology, pharmacological inhibitors and post-translational RNAi and CRISPR; and understanding cancer pathways to combat the generation of drug resistance using immunoassays and transcriptome sequencing.

He has more than 15 years of research expertise in the areas of polyol nanochemistry, nanofabrication, materials characterization, genetic engineering and developing bionanotechnologies. Dr. Suresh has published more than a dozen scientific articles in high-impact journals and been granted four patents in the field of nanosensors, drug delivery and gene targeting for cancer therapy. Additionally, he is an active peer-reviewer in several scientific journals in his field and is involved in proposing and writing scientific grants towards nanoparticle therapeutics and gene targeting.

Dr. Suresh's work gives specific emphasis to engineering applications and provides training in an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing bioengineering, nanoscience and molecular biology to provide efficient solutions and positive outcomes to current clinical challenges.
