Research Interests
Yusra Malik, a former BS student, focused on the molecular cloning of Benzonase nuclease for targeted cancer therapy. She successfully cloned the enzyme with the aim of fusing it to an anti-FAP-α antibody for selective delivery into cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Her work contributed to the foundational steps of a targeted drug delivery system for prostate cancer.
