Charles Roth

Professor

Biomedical Engineering

Development of nanomedicines designed for delivery of therapeutic oligonucleotides, optical imaging agents, or conventional drugs

Research Interests

GRAPLONs (GRAft Polymer-Lipid Oligonucleotide Nanocomplexes; with Dr. David Devore) for delivery of therapeutic oligonucleotides (antisense and siRNA) as well as cationic peptides for wound healing; Cationic amphiphilic macromolecules (with Prof. Kathryn Uhrich) for delivery of therapeutic oligonucleotides (antisense and siRNA); rare earth-albumin nanocomposites we (with Prabhas Moghe, Rik Riman and Mark Pierce) are using for optical imaging
