Research Summary

The main focus of research in the Ghandehari laboratory is the development of novel methods for controlled delivery of bioactive agents. Our lab is exploring localized delivery of anti-inflammatory agents for the treatment of radiation-induced proctitis, targeted drug delivery for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis, and understanding the toxicity of inorganic nanoparticles. The overarching goal is to improve the efficacy and reduce toxicity of drugs.
