Precision Medicine Engineering Laboratory

The Precision Medicine Engineering lab aims to integrate synthetic biology, drug delivery, and tissue engineering techniques to design "Precision Medicine". Research areas in this laboratory include: application of synthetic biology tools to engineer cells for therapeutic applications; development of drug delivery systems, such as nano-formulations, wearable devices, and injectable drug-releasing depots; and engineering tissue modeling for transplantation, disease modeling, or personalized prediction of therapeutic efficacy.
