Swarm Microrobotics
Building a swarm micro-robotic system with PCB coils and SU-8 polymers, for targeted drug delivery and non-invasive ocular/cardiac/neuro surgery. Leveraging magnetic field simulations and microfluidic FEA to design multi-scale 6-DOF medical robots equipped with compliant mechanisms; using planar actuation in fibrous muscles for…
Large Dose Drug Delivery – Sustained Release
A long-acting DAA system (LA-DAAS) has the potential to safely and consistently deliver DAA therapy to patients with good adherence and quality of life by decreasing the frequency of dosing, with the goal of ultimately providing single dosing. A coil-shaped gastric resident system…
Inflatable Metamaterials
Creating new biomaterials with shape memory or surface switching properties and developing controlled release systems that can be magnetically, ultrasonically, or enzymatically triggered to increase release rates. Synthesizing new biodegradable polymeric delivery systems which will ultimately be absorbed by the body and investigating…
Large Dose Drug Delivery – Pulsatile Release
Pulsatile drug delivery systems are developed to deliver drug according to circadian behavior of diseases. The product follow a sigmoidal drug release profile characterized by a time period of no release (lag time) followed by a rapid and complete drug release. Thus drug…
