정밀나노의약공학 연구실

We are now pursuing the development of ultrasmall nanocarriers that enable highly precise, disease-specific delivery of therapeutics across a broader range of pathological conditions. When nanomedicines enter the body, they undergo complex biological processing, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). We investigate how the physicochemical properties of nanomedicines, such as size, shape, surface charge, hydrophobicity and 3D structure, influence their interactions with biological systems during each ADME phase. In particular, we are interested in how these behaviors change in disease conditions, such as inflammation, fibrosis, or disrupted vasculature. Our research seeks to unravel these mechanisms and leverage them to design precision nanomedicine with enhanced therapeutic efficacy and reduced toxicity. We have openings for postdoctoral researcher, graduate students, and undergraduate intern students. Our research focuses on developing nanomedicine, nanoprobe, phototheranostics, pharmaceutical formulations, and biopharmaceuticals. This field is highly interdisciplinary, and we welcome students and researchers with interests or expertise in  pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical sciences, chemical and materials sciences, optical sciences, or a related field.
