Nutrition and Nanomedicine Laboratory in the Department of Nutritional Sciences

Dr. Wang's research group synthesizes biodegradable and biocompatible nanoparticles for targeted delivery of bioactive phytochemicals and other compounds to disease tissues or cells. Those nanoparticles as carriers can increase solubility, stability, payload, and bioavailability of phytochemicals and bioactive compounds, lower their toxicity, prolong their circulation time, and target them to specific cells or tissues for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, primarily atherosclerosis, obesity and cancer.
