The Drug Delivery Research Group

Our research is centered on the interface of polymers and therapeutics at the nano-micro or macro-scale to prevent, manage or treat diseases using drugs or drug-like compounds or their combinations. We apply innovative delivery strategies to existing small or large molecules to improve the risk vs benefit ratio; realize new indications; or apply the innovative delivery technologies early on in the drug discovery program to minimize the attrition rates.
