RESEARCH INTERESTS
The Maynard research group is interested in the synthesis and application of protein-polymer conjugates and smart materials. There are three main research thrusts within the group.
1) New syntheses of protein-polymer conjugates are developed and applied to prepare therapeutic protein-polymer conjugates. Conjugates are studied for therapeutic efficacy and safety with a focus on drugs used to treat diabetes. We also rationally design and synthesize polymers that stabilize proteins to stressors encountered during the production, storage, and shipping conditions.
2) Our group prepares stimuli-responsive materials including hydrogels, peptides, and nanoparticles for drug delivery applications. These materials are responsive to a variety of triggers such as pH, reducing conditions, temperature, glucose, and enzymes that can be tuned based on their chemistry for various applications in medicine including for diabetes and cancer.
3) Current solutions to enhance food yields are expensive, inefficient, and/or wasteful. The Maynard Lab creates polymers and hydrogels to encapsulate, stabilize, and release vulnerable compounds and proteins, overall increasing the efficiency of their use. We also create materials to reduce water use for agriculture under drought conditions.
