Our research aims to uncover new biological insights towards the design, production, and delivery of novel biotherapeutics and biomaterials. Our focus areas include extracellular vesicles (EVs, including exosomes), bacteria and live bacterial products such as bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs, including outer membrane vesicles (OMVs)), engineered protein therapeutics, and others. We strive to develop new drug delivery and biomanufacturing approaches using fundamental tools from both engineering and biology. Employing techniques in molecular biology, protein design, process engineering, and nanotechnology, we are primarily interested in developing new biotechnologies to address clinical needs in wound repair, cardiovascular disease, cancer, brain and spinal cord injuries, neurological diseases, osteoarthritis, and sepsis, among others. Overarching goals of the lab include developing therapeutics towards clinical translation and endowing trainees with the skills and knowledge necessary to become leaders in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
