Our research aims to create cutting-edge biomimetic nanotechnologies and exploit them to study and solve complex biological problems that are associated with human diseases. One major research goal is to overcome the various therapeutic barriers in infectious disease and cancer treatment. We also seek to understand the fundamental sciences at the interface of nanomedicine and biology. Overall, our research program covers a broad scope of multidisciplinary areas including nanoengineering, bioengineering, chemcial engineering, materials science, chemistry, pharmacy and medicine.
