Supercharging Immunotherapy Through Nanotechnology: Chemical Structure Matters

Structural nanomedicines are therapeutic constructs designed to maximize efficacy while minimizing toxicity by precisely organizing functional components. My lab designs biomaterials that overcome barriers to the spatiotemporal distribution of immunotherapies, enabling their combination with both existing and novel treatments. In this talk, I will demonstrate how material design and structure shape therapeutic outcomes, altering the spatiotemporal dynamics of immune responses in cancer treatment. Structural nanomedicines have the potential to answer fundamental questions in immunobiology and revolutionize treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases.
