Cellular and molecular bioengineering laboratory

Welcome to the Nanotherapeutics Research Laboratory at Rice University!

Our ultimate purpose is to harness the tools of synthetic chemistry and recombinant DNA technology to engineer bio-inspired nanodevices for the detection and treatment of human diseases.

Our research is highly multi-disciplinary, relying on the efforts of scientists, engineers, and clinicians with diverse backgrounds and expertise. We seek to drive innovation by working at the interface of multiple fields, including Biophysics, Cell Biology, Regenerative Medicine, Drug/Gene Delivery, and Biomedical Imaging.
