Elizabeth Louie

Researcher at Crofton House School

My research interests lie at the intersection of neuroscience, bioengineering, and disease-responsive therapeutic systems, with a particular focus on neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. I am especially interested in designing smart drug delivery platforms, such as ROS and pH-responsive hydrogels, that can dynamically adapt to changing disease environments and enable targeted, controlled treatment, including through innovative approaches like intranasal (nose-to-brain) delivery. My background includes experimental biology research using model organisms such as Daphnia magna to study dose-dependent toxicological effects, where I developed skills in experimental design, data collection, and statistical analysis. I am also building experience in computational analysis using Python and applying quantitative methods such as ANOVA to interpret biological data. Beyond the lab, I have founded and lead an initiative focused on eye health awareness, reflecting my broader interest in translating scientific research into real-world health impact.
