Research summary

Kinam Park's research focuses on drug delivery systems, particularly injectable and polymer-based formulations that release medication slowly over time inside the body. Much of the recent work centers on PLGA (a biodegradable polymer) microparticles used to create long-acting injectable drugs, along with related work on hydrogels, stimuli-responsive polymers, and manufacturing methods for scaling up these formulations from lab to industrial production.

Publication output was notably higher in 2017-2019 (25-37 papers/year) but has slowed considerably since 2020, settling into a lower and fairly steady pace of roughly 5-12 papers per year in recent years.
