Expertise: Our lab develops biologically inspired strategies for controlled drug and gene delivery for gene therapy and regenerative medicine.

Delivery of genome editing technologies – As therapeutics, genome editing technologies hold great promise. The challenge is safe and efficient delivery to diseased tissues in the patient. We are adapting viral and non-viral delivery vehicles and assessing safety and efficiency in preclinical models of disease.

Gene regulation in regenerative medicine and wound healing – Changes to gene expression in chronic disease delaying or preventing tissue regeneration or restoration. Targeted control of gene expression can illuminate new drug targets.
