About

Our research focuses on the health issues of blindness, cancer and drug abuse, which have huge socioeconomic implications.

Our lab applies engineering principles to advance our understanding of the interactions of therapeutic nanoparticle platforms with biological barriers and disease pathophysiology. This knowledge guides us to better design new biomaterials and nanotherapeutic-based treatments for eye disorders, cancer and other diseases.

Our research program operates at the interface of nanoengineering, materials science and translational medicine. We aim to translate technologies to have a meaningful impact on human health.
