After almost 30 years of research and struggle, our lab finally developed a new nanomedicine design strategy, which is drug specific, nanocarrier specific, disease specific, and cell type specific. Using these new strategies, we have developed nano delivery system achieving long-term and durable cancer remission in metastatic cancers including triple negative breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. We have also developed new anticancer peptide vaccine strategy to achieve long-term anticancer efficacy. These data are currently under review in Science Translational Medicine and Nature Nanotechnology. We are currently expanding this new strategy for mRNA cancer vaccine delivery.
If you are passionate about fighting pancreatic cancer and triple negative breast cancer; interested in nanotechnology in drug delivery, vaccine delivery, and mRNA delivery; curious about new nanomedicine design strategy, we welcome you to apply two postdoctoral fellow positions at the College of Pharmacy of The University of Michigan.
