Research interests

  • Peptide-based vaccines

    I focus on the development of peptide-based vaccines against infectious diseases and cancer. This includes (1) synthesis of adjuvanting moieties for stimulation of immune system; (2) applying different methods for conjugation of peptides and lipids; (3) determination of the size, shape and charge of the self-assembled vaccine particles; (4) investigate the biological efficiency of vaccines in both in vitro and in vivo.

  • Gene delivery

    Currently, I am working on the development of targeted nanoparticle delivery system to deliver the siRNA to cytoplasm. This delivery system includes peptide-based, micelles and/or liposome formulations.
