HO RESEARCH GROUP

We are focused on the development and characterization of innovative nanoparticles, medical devices, and biomaterials for drug delivery and vaccine applications. Our technology platforms are designed to be customizable to enhance drug solubility, targeted delivery, and improved therapeutic efficacy. Our team has the experience and knowledge to develop pharmaceutical formulations for small molecule drugs, proteins/peptides, and nucleic acids. We also have the necessary infrastructure to characterize our technology platforms in vitro and in vivo e.g. physico-chemical drug properties, tissue biocompatibility, imaging, etc... We're collaborating with many groups internationally and from a variety of different fields such as immunology, bio-engineering, molecular biology, etc.
