Research Interests
Our research involves the application of molecular and nanobioengineering approaches to cancer, infection, and other biomedical problems. Much of our work centers on the development of technology for efficient delivery of oligonucleotides (antisense or short interfering RNA) for gene silencing and antimicrobial drugs for infection control. Current projects include: (1) aerosolized nanomedicine for lung infections; (2) nanomaterials for antimicrobial drug delivery to wounds; (3) physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling of nanomedicines.
