Profile

Research expertise

Advanced Formulation Science Lab

The Matoori Lab is a highly translational lab providing bioengineered solutions for clinically relevant challenges. We combine vesicular reaction compartments, hydrogels, and therapeutic proteins to create transformational diagnostic and therapeutic formulations. We actively collaborate with our partners in clinical research and practice to identify needs, develop patient-centric systems, and prove concepts.
