Viral Vector and Drug Delivery

Picture
Successful delivery of therapeutic molecules is highly dependent on the molecules reaching their target destination without degrading or losing functionality. The Nisbet Lab is actively investigating the use of biomaterials for the support and sustained release of such molecules, in order to improve pharmacological lifetimes in vivo. Using the same scaffold materials we employ for neural tissue engineering, we are developing hydrogels that both protect their therapeutic cargo from degradation and enable the controlled release of multiple drugs at different rates.
