Our research program employs functionalized nanomaterials in medicine and medical devices. It involves the development of animal models of kidney, cancer, and metal-related diseases (e.g., iron overload, hyperphosphatemia) and applying the nanomaterials to diagnose, prevent, or treat such diseases.

Research Areas

• Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF): A Rodent Model for Therapeutic Intervention
• Orally Delivered Nanomaterials for Limiting Gut Absorption of Toxic Metals, Iron, Phosphate, and Radionuclides
• Targeted Gene and Drug Delivery using Nanomaterials for Cancer Therapy.
• Sorbent Hemoperfusion and Dialysis
• Portable Metal Analyzers
