Research interests
The tissue microenvironment plays a critical role in the accessibility of embedded cells to treatment by small molecule, nanoparticle, and other non-viral forms of gene therapy. One example of graduate student projects in the Pannier laboratory focuses on understanding how tissue matrix composition and physical properties impact DNA uptake from liposome or nanoparticle delivery modes. Student projects are also designed with the goal of optimizing the format of DNA-containing nanoparticles for effective delivery in tissue constructs and in vivo.
Research focus: Non-viral gene delivery, synthetic extracellular matrices, and protein-cell adhesion.
