Description of Research Interest

The Responsive Biomedical Systems Lab develops diagnostic and therapeutic systems at the nano-and microscale to tackle a range of challenging problems in health care, including cancer and musculoskeletal conditions. Our systems respond, for example, to locally present signals of the disease environment, such as characteristic enzymatic activity and can be activated with or communicate through externally applied stimuli including heat, acoustic, mechanical, or electromagnetic signals. As a result, they indicate diagnostic information to the doctor or locally release drugs on demand.
