S. Thai Thayumanavan

The Thayumanavan Research Group designs and synthesizes functional biomaterials for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. The lab develops nanocarrier systems for targeted intracellular drug and antibody delivery, with particular focus on cancer therapy and inflammatory disease. Material architectures are engineered at the structural level to control encapsulation, release kinetics, and tissue selectivity, with the ultimate focus on efficacious treatment of difficult-to-treat diseases.
