Research Description

My research focuses on the design and development of advanced drug and nucleic acid delivery systems based on the elucidation of fundamental mechanisms of intracellular processing of biomaterials. This innovative approach results in new knowledge of biological pathways, the discovery of structure-function relationships of biomaterials, and the construction of highly effective delivery systems for several biomedical applications.

Research Interests

Engineering of advanced drug delivery systems with an emphasis on human gene therapy for the prevention control and treatment of disease.
