Overview

The overall goal of our research endeavor is the development of new biomaterial-based strategies for: (a) the design and development of novel delivery systems for vaccines and immunotherapies against cancer and infectious diseases, (b) engineering complex microfluidics-based vascularized microenvironments to study the immune-homeostasis and immune-pathology in various organs and diseases, and (c) developing novel engineering tools and high throughput methods to manufacture therapeutic immune cells.
