Dr. Mansour's research focuses on the application of interfacial phenomena and biocolloidal chemistry in the design of advanced drug delivery self-assembly systems and development of pulmonary inhalation aerosols for targeted lung drug delivery (pulmonary disease treatment) and for novel needle-free vaccine inhalation aerosol delivery (pulmonary disease prevention) as multifunctional microparticles and nanoparticles. In addition, she has an active research program on sustained-release injectable depot delivery of therapeutic polypeptides encapsulated in biodegradable/biocompatible polymeric microspheres and nanoparticles for controlled drug delivery over several weeks to months (following a single depot injection) for the treatment of various disease states.
She earned a BS in pharmacy and a PhD in pharmaceutical sciences from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Dr. Mansour was honored during the 2007 American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists annual meeting in San Diego, receiving the PhRMA Postdoctoral Fellow Award in Pharmaceutics and the AAPS Postdoctoral Fellow Award for research excellence.
Prior to her appointment at UK, she was an Instructor (both in the Graduate and PharmD Programs) and a postdoctoral fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Pharmacy in the Division of Molecular Pharmaceutics, receiving the 2007 UNC-Chapel Hill Postdoctoral Award for Research Excellence from the Office of the Vice Chancellor.
