About our research
Interdisciplinary work in sensing, drug formulation, and delivering
Our lab is conducting activities in the following areas:
- Development and investigation of biomaterials for the delivery of: small molecules, macromolecular therapeutics including nucleic acids as well as cell therapies
- Development of ingestible devices for electroceutical application including therapeutic and diagnostic indications
- Synthesis and characterization of new biodegradable and bioresorbable materials
- Development of new ultra-long drug delivery systems to support maximal adherence for a broad range of indications
- Stem cell research with a focus on delivery and control challenges
- Translational challenges including pre-clinical and first-in-human characterization of new drug delivery and sensing modalities
- Development of machine learning tools to inform next generation solutions for drug formulation and delivery
- Creating implantable and ingestible robotic systems capable of identifying unique signals and provide therapeutic interventions to support closed-loop interventions
- Ex vivo / In vitro tissue models to study drug transport and tissue behavior
We regularly produce illustrative videos about our research and its applications.
