Columbia University
Engineering next-generation biomolecular immunotherapies
We integrate protein engineering, synthetic biology, and biomaterials to address challenges in cancer and infectious diseases, engineering RNA- and protein-based platforms that precisely modulate immune responses and improve therapeutic efficacy.
Our approach
Where disciplines meet
Biomolecular
Immunotherapies
Synthetic biology
RNA-based gene circuits that sense and respond to their environment.
Protein engineering
Designer proteins that precisely modulate immune responses.
Biomaterials
Engineered biopolymers for controlled, depot-forming delivery.
Biomolecular engineering
RNA- and protein-based platforms for next-generation therapeutics.
Research
Three core research areas
01
RNA circuits for the tumor microenvironment
Rewiring immunosuppressive tumors into inflammatory ones.
