`
`RESEARCH INTERESTS
`
`The primary focus of research in my laboratory is on the development of biocompatible materials from natural and
`synthetic polymers, target-specific drug and gene delivery systems for cancer and infectious diseases, and
`nanotechnology applications for medical diagnosis, imaging, and therapy. Specific projects that we are currently pursuing
`include:
`
`
`
`
`

`

` Amiji, M.M. - Page
`
`
`
`
`• Synthesis of novel polymeric materials for medical and pharmaceutical applications.
`• Preparation and characterization of polymeric membranes and microcapsules with controlled permeability
`properties for medical and pharmaceutical applications.
`• Target-specific drug, gene, and vaccine delivery systems for diseases of the gastro-intestinal tract.
`• Delivery of DNA and siRNA to mucosal surfaces for gene therapy and vaccination.
`• Localized delivery of cytotoxic and anti-angiogenic drugs, siRNA, and genes for solid tumors in novel
`biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles.
`
`3
`
`•
`
`Intracellular and sub-cellular delivery systems for drugs and genes using target-specific, long-circulating,
`biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles.
`• Role of hypoxia and tumor microenvironment in development of tumor drug resistance, angiogenesis, and
`metastasis.
`• Local administration of drugs and nucleic acid-containing nanovectors immobilized on stents for the treatment of
`arterial diseases (e.g., coronary restenosis).
`• Novel oil-in-water nanoemulsion formulations for drug delivery through the gastrointestinal tract and across the
`blood-brain barrier.
`• Systemic and mucosal vaccination using novel immune-modulatory strategies and delivery systems.
`•
`
`Intranasal administration of liposomes and nanoemulsions to enhance brain delivery of peptides, proteins, siRNA,
`and genes.
