Therapeutic Sciences Graduate Program

Dr. Desai is interested in the development and understanding of micro and nanostructured materials for tissue regeneration and therapeutic delivery.  Current studies focus on nanostructured materials for immunomodulation; biomimetic architectures for cell-based therapy, and nanomaterials for enhanced drug delivery across biological barriers.  We are fundamentally interested in how alterations in micro and nanostructure can be used to modulate cell-material interactions.
