Immuno-Therapeutics

Objective:

Immunotherapy is the “treatment of disease by inducing, enhancing, or suppressing an immune response.” Faculty are engaged in applying nano-and biomaterial technologies toward modulating immune responses, as well as developing diagnostic and computational tools for the design of interventions.

What We Do:

• Immune actuation
• Immune tolerance
• Nano particles
• Cytokine and chemokine delivery
• Systems biology of the immune system

Applications:

• Cancer (Breast, Prostate, Pancreatic)
• Allergies (Food, Airway)
• Pulmonary disease (pulmonary fibrosis, COPD)
• Autoimmune disease (Multiple Sclerosis Type 1 Diabetes)
• Infectious Disease (HIV and other STIs, tuberculosis)
