Research summary
AI-generated

Sandra Torregrosa-Allen's work sits in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, focusing on developing and testing new drug candidates and delivery systems for treating cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer, often using animal models. The research combines chemistry (designing small-molecule kinase inhibitors) with drug delivery engineering (nanoparticles, hydrogels, and implantable devices) to improve how treatments target tumors while reducing side effects.
