Acerca de
Hemasudha Chatragadda grew up in Pittsburgh, PA , and earned a double degree in Biochemistry and Chemistry from the Pittsburgh, PA .
In her research, Sussana's goal is to "develop controlled polymerization strategies for functional polydisulfides as stimuli-responsive drug and gene carriers. Polydisulfides can be degraded specifically in response to endogenous, intracellular reducing agents, such as glutathione, to trigger drug release inside of cells. So, I could use polydisulfides to construct 'smart' polymeric delivery systems that would target and deliver their cargo specifically to cancer cells. Furthermore, because the polymeric backbone is made up of disulfide bonds
