Dr. Mansoor M. Amiji
Dr. Mansoor Amiji earned his Bachelor’s Degree from
Northeastern University (Boston, MA) and his Doctorate from
Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN).
Dr. Amiji is currently the Distinguished Professor and Chair of
the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the School of
Pharmacy, Bouve College of Health Sciences at Northeastern
University in Boston, MA.
Dr. Amiji’s research focuses on the synthesis of novel polymeric
materials for medical and pharmaceutical applications, the
surface modification of cationic polymers by the complexationinterpenetration method to develop biocompatible materials, and
the preparation and characterization of polymeric membranes
and microcapsules with controlled permeability properties for
medical and pharmaceutical applications.
Dr. Amiji is also a leader in the field of target-specific drug and
vaccine delivery systems for gastro-intestinal tract infections.
His group is making great strides in the localized delivery of
cytotoxic and antiangiogenic drugs for solid tumors in novel
biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles, intracellular delivery
systems for drugs and genes using target-specific, longcirculating, biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles.
Dr. Amiji has authored four books, published over 250 peerreviewed papers, and won numerous awards for his groundbreaking research.
