Abstract:
My research areas include:
Biomedical nanotechnology; translational science; medical
therapeutics in drug delivery application in oncology,
cardiovascular disease and diabetes; biosensors and bioseparation
technology; multiscale discrete/continuum mechanics and
biomechanics
Research in my laboratory is
directed at the early detection of disease from biological fluids,
the autonomous (time-controlled and spatially directed) delivery
of therapeutics agents, the continuous monitoring of disease
progression, and the real-time evaluation of the efficacy of
therapeutic intervention. We have completed work that demonstrates
how silicon-based implants can be engineered to provide long-term
therapeutic delivery for treatment of chronic and acute
conditions. Our laboratory has pioneered the development of
proteomic nanodevices for analysis of low-concentration biomarkers
in biological fluids. (
