Research Interests
Dr. Green’s Biomaterials and Drug Delivery Laboratory is interested in biomaterials, drug delivery, gene therapy, nanobiotechnology, and cell engineering. Research findings — and the technologies developed — are applied in the fields of ophthalmology, oncology, and regenerative medicine.
The lab works within the chemistry/biology/engineering interface to answer fundamental scientific questions, and to create innovative technologies and therapeutics that can directly benefit human health.
Current projects include:
- Development of safe and effective biodegradable nanoparticles for DNA and siRNA delivery to treat cancer
- Polymeric microparticle-based biological treatments for age-related macular degeneration
- Design of biomimetic artificial antigen presenting cells for immunoengineering
- Enabling technologies for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
