Nominator's project description
| Professor Kumar is well known internationally for his pioneering work on the rational design of polyesters, enabling ligand-receptor stoichiometry and their application to receptor-mediated oral drug delivery. He has made significant contributions to nanomedicines research which has direct beneficiaries in EU, USA and India as well as indirect beneficiaries globally. During his stay in Germany Professor Majeti will focus on the next generation of non-competitive active targeting strategies and precision-polyesters for ligand-receptor stoichiometry optimization. |
