研究领域

Delivery is a major barrier to success of genetic medicines to treat cancer, genetic diseases, and infections. The development of new materials that can deliver nucleic acids and genome editors to improve disease outcomes constitutes the paramount challenge in treating diseases using the emerging class of drugs. Genetic drugs cover a diverse biophysical space, from 20 base pair siRNA to 15,000 nucleotide mRNA. Our lab has elucidated the fundamental guidelines for delivery of different cargoes, revealing how changes in chemical structure of the lipids and polymers that comprise nanoparticles, in concert with engineering formulation can be rationally optimized for deployment of various cargoes that enable therapeutic intervention from siRNA-mediated gene silencing to CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome correction. In addition to establishing core chemical structure-activity relationships (SAR) and clear in vivo mechanisms of action (MOA), we have realized therapeutic applications in models of cancer and genetic disease.
