Meet our Associate Editor, Assaf Zinger

We are delighted to introduce you to our new RSC Pharmaceutics Associate Editor Assaf Zinger.

Dr. Assaf Zinger is a leading researcher and educator specializing in nanomedicine and engineering. He is currently an Assistant Professor at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Houston Methodist Academic Institute in Texas, USA. Dr. Zinger’s research focuses on biomimetic nanoparticles, covering various fields from biochemical engineering, where he designs and tests these nanoparticles, to biomedical engineering, where he assesses their effectiveness against conditions like neurodegenerative diseases, brain injuries, and cancers.

“I was drawn to this journal because of its unwavering commitment to publishing ground breaking discoveries in pharmaceutical science and its awesome editorial board. I am hoping that publishing here will not be just about sharing your research; it will be about contributing to the future of medicine.”
