Brief Description of Research Interest:

My research interests mainly focuses on the development of new synthetic materials for the delivery of therapeutic biomacromolecules, such as siRNA, mRNA, protein, and CRISPR genome editing machineries. In my PhD research, I synthesized a series of polypeptide-based nanoparticles for targeted delivery of small molecules, protein, and siRNA. Now, I am interested in using lipid-like nanoparticles to deliver mRNA and CRISPR elements both in vitro and in vivo for disease therapy.
