Assaf Zinger, PhD

Assistant Professor
Technion- Israel Institute of Technology

I am an Assistant Professor in the Chemical Engineering department at Technion- Israel Institute of Technology, an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Cardiovascular Sciences and Neurosurgery departments at Houston Methodist Academic Institue, TX, USA. Leveraging my interdisciplinary skills I have developed several nanotechnologies using various drug delivery systems and now I am translating these findings into clinically relevant therapies. I strongly believe that the quality of someone’s research is not defined by their religion, their gender, or the color of their skin and that a strong lab needs a heterogeneous population of students that will lead to a fruitful thinking group.

My research strategy is to utilize specific cellular biomarkers into nanoparticles while retaining the versatility of these nanoparticles to load and release drugs with various chemical properties (e.g., hydrophilic, amphiphilic, and lipophilic) and deliver a wide range of therapeutic cargos such as mRNA and siRNA, proteins, and small molecules.
