About Us
Our group applies principles of biomaterials science, tissue engineering and nanotechnology towards translational immunotherapies for cancer, allergy, infectious disease, and autoimmunity. We employ polymeric nanoparticles to deliver life-saving drugs to diseased tissue while sparing healthy tissue from toxicity. Our goal is to modulate the immune system in a controlled manner to address some of the biggest challenges in human health.Latest in the Lab
