OverviewAI-generated summary

Katherine A. Miranda-Muñoz's research focuses on developing and evaluating polymeric biomaterials and microneedle technology for transdermal drug delivery systems. Her work integrates engineering design, materials science, and pharmacological evaluation to create platforms for both human and veterinary health. She has conducted significant research on biodegradable microneedle patches for the controlled transdermal delivery of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), specifically meloxicam, for pain management in cattle.

Dr. Miranda-Muñoz earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Arkansas, where her doctoral research concentrated on the design, fabrication, and in vivo assessment of these microneedle patches. Her findings have been published in journals such as ACS Nano and PLOS ONE. She has also presented her work at numerous national conferences and received multiple awards and fellowships, including support from the NSF I-Corps program. Her collaborations include work with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
