Professor
Husson University
Dr. Shuhua Bai is a Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. He joined the Husson University School of Pharmacy in 2009. Dr. Bai received his B.S. in Pharmaceutical Engineering and M.S. in Medicinal Chemistry degrees from Shenyang Pharmaceutical University. His doctoral degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences was obtained at the School of Pharmacy, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
Dr. Bai’s research has been focusing on the development of novel medicines that effectively cross biological membranes for targeted therapy. Nanotechnologies in his lab have been applied for delivering efficacy of molecules, such as protein, small interfering RNA (siRNA), and CRISPR/Cas 9, which have a short duration of action and/or low permeability across physiological barriers to disease sites. While having extensive experience in the development of polymer-based nanospheres, lipid nanoparticles, and drug-polymer nanoconjugates, Dr. Bai is currently piloting biocompatible and bioengineered exosome-based nanosystems for the treatment of various diseases.
