We use in vitro modeling, nanotechnology, and immunoengineering approaches to study and develop treatments for diseases at mucosal surfaces. We are focused on studying the stromal compartment's, particularly the lymphatics', roles in disease pathology at mucosal surfaces and how the stromal compartment can be targeted for novel treatment strategies. Our work creates crucial fundamental knowledge about stromal cell involvement in disease pathology, and also leads to novel targets and design criteria for therapeutics. Research Areas
