RET Project: Coming Soon

Precision genome editing technologies can potentially treat the root causes of several genetic diseases by making precise and targeted edits to the DNA. However, safe and effective delivery methods are needed to translate this potential into a therapeutic reality. My lab’s research interests lie in the intersection of synthetic biology, protein engineering, drug delivery, and gene editing, with a focus on using a cross-disciplinary approach to solving delivery challenges for therapeutics.

Areas of Interest: Drug delivery, biomolecular engineering, biomaterials design, genome editing, synthetic biology, functional genomics and protein engineering.
