Dr. Huang is a pioneer in nanoparticle vectors for delivery of drugs, genes and vaccines. He has designed a core/membrane type nanoparticle which evades the macrophages in the liver and the spleen and deliver a large fraction of the injected dose to the target cells. The nanomedicine can encapsulate siRNA, peptide or chemotherapy drugs, either alone or in combination, resulting in effective inhibition of tumor growth. The Huang lab is also interested in designing peptide or mRNA vaccines for cancer immunotherapy. He uses nanoparticles as a tool to study the cross talks between cells in the tumor microenvironment.,Dr. Huang is a pioneer in nanoparticle vectors for delivery of drugs, genes and vaccines.
