He received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from OSU. As a Postdoctoral Researcher at OSU’s Center for Affordable Nanoengineering of Polymeric Biomedical Devices, he pioneered the development of nanoscale tools for deterministic and non-viral gene delivery, in vitro and in vivo. His lab is currently focused on the development of novel biomedical nanotechnologies for fundamental and translational applications, with special emphasis on elucidating and modulating the mechanisms that control tissue plasticity for applications in regenerative medicine and cell-based therapies.
