The Riley lab is at the interface of engineering, nanotechnology, and medicine to develop drug delivery platforms to treat disease with a focus on women’s health. We are interested in studying how the nanoparticle chemical composition and physicochemical properties influence their biodistribution and delivery to tissues and cells of interest, and we use these technologies to study and treat gynecological cancers and pregnancy-related conditions.
