Jeffrey Alan Hubbell Merck Serono Chair in Drug Delivery (SV/SB/STI) Professor web site: http://lmrp.epfl.ch office(s): AI1106 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 39681,39682 fax: [+41 21 69] 39685 MISSION Our research is in the field of biomaterials, with applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery in mind. We tend to select research problems that require a substantial understanding of biology and that require the development of novel materials. As such, our group consists of people with backgrounds in biology, materials chemistry, and bioengineering, about one-third coming from each area. Our materials focus at the moment is biological activity, whether the design and use of biological or biomimetic molecules, or the development of materials that can respond to biological signals. Our applications foci at the moment are (i) regenerative medicine, especially angiogenesis, bone healing, chronic dermal wound healing, and nerve regeneration; (ii) delivery of drugs to the cytoplasm or the nucleus, especially delivery of plasmid DNA and antisense oligonucleotides across the plasma membrane and into the appropriate intracellular targets; and (ii) delivery of anticancer or antiproliferative drugs in difficult-to-reach loci using biological trafficking, especially the peritoneum, the coronary artery wall, and the lymphatics.
