My laboratory research goal is to study the fate of nanoformulations that leads to novel insights of various biological factors and properties responsible for effective and targeted delivery and treatment. At the translational front, my work focuses on identification of novel therapeutic treatment strategies including development of targeted delivery and immunotherapy systems for therapeutic macromolecules; designing of anti-tumor drug formulations for improving targetability and efficiency; developing novel multi-functional self-assembling polymer materials; and novel applications of these materials for photodynamic, hyperthermia and imaging in cancer therapeutics. The overall goal of my research is to use these studied materials to devise advanced delivery and immunotherapy systems that can be tailored to meet the needs of individual cancer patient.
