Research Interests
Recent advances in pharmaceutical development and the molecular foundation of disease has translated into new therapeutic agents. We aim to apply our knowledge base in biomaterials, cellular biology, immunology and transport phenomena to develop novel therapeutics that take advantage of these advances. In the Ainslie lab we develop platforms through the applications of techniques like microfabrication and other common polymer chemistry methods. Our focus is to not only release doses of pharmaceuticals, but also use pharmaceuticals to skew the immune response of the body to act therapeutically.
