Areas of Research Interest
- Intestinal inflammation and IBD models, the best-developed KPV literature, where PepT1-mediated uptake gives a rationale for oral, gut-targeted delivery
- Targeted oral drug-delivery systems, KPV is a recurring model cargo for PepT1-targeted and nanoparticle delivery aimed at inflamed colonic tissue
- Non-pigmentary anti-inflammatory signaling, interest centers on separating alpha-MSH's anti-inflammatory activity from its melanotropic and hormonal effects
- Cutaneous inflammation, explored preclinically in skin-inflammation and contact-hypersensitivity contexts, reflecting the parent hormone's skin biology
- Antimicrobial peptide research, KPV's direct activity against bacteria and yeast positions it within host-defense-peptide investigation
