Primary fields of research

My main focus is delivery of therapeutic peptides and proteins across biological barriers mediated by carrier peptides, such as cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) and tight junction modulating peptides (TJMPs).

This includes subprojects investigating 1) the effect of covalent conjugation of the carrier peptide to the therapeutic peptide or protein, 2) intermolecular interactions controlling carrier peptide-therapeutic peptide/protein nanocomplexation, and 3) mechanistic understanding of cellular events leading to delivery across biological barriers.
