Maya Davidovich-Pinhas

Maya Davidovich-Pinhas is a biochemical engineer who specializes in the development and analysis of mucoadhesive biomaterials. She received her PhD in chemical engineering from the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology, Israel. Dr. Davidovich-Pinhas has pioneered the use of acrylated polymers as a way to promote mucoadhesion in physiological environment. Such systems offer a novel approach for bioadhesion in order to control drug release and target drug delivery, which potentially improves its bioavailability.
