Research Interest
The research of Lali Medina-Kauwe, PhD, focuses on using the cell penetration functions of pathogen proteins to develop novel cell-targeted nanotherapeutics. Medina-Kauwe is studying protein-host cell interactions, including endocytic routing, to direct the design of our nanoparticles for improved therapy. She is also currently testing these particles for cancer targeting and treatment.
