research

At the Technion- Israel Institute of Technology, my research group is developing biomimetic nanoparticles (NP) to treat neurodegenerative pediatric diseases, traumatic brain injuries, and breast and ovarian cancers. Our lab's main goal is to be one of the world's leading research groups in developing targeted biomimetic NP that can encapsulate a wide range of therapeutic molecules, including mRNA, proteins, and small molecules, thus revolutionizing how we treat numerous diseases.
