ACTIVE RESEARCH

Developing DNA nanoparticles for gene therapy. Primary target is the lung in cystic fibrosis with delivery of the CF gene, but secondary targets include prevention of influenza with DNA encoding shRNAs, and other target organs.

Investigating the manner in which defects in CFTR lead to excess inflammation in response to infection in the CF lung, and discovering ways to correct it.
