Lab Tour/Facilities

The tools that we utilize include novel polymer and nanoparticle synthesis methodologies, precise functionalization of nanoparticles, state-of-the-art surface/interfacial characterization, cellular and immunological analyses, characterization of protein biochemistry, and a suite of multi-scale imaging capabilities, ranging from the molecular to the whole body levels. Here are the techniques that we use routinely in our research activities.

The Nanovaccine Initiative is a consortium of 50 researchers at 17 universities, research institutes, national laboratories, and companies, coordinated by Iowa State University. Our research is an interdisciplinary merger of expertise in immunology, nanotechnology, materials science, clinical science, and social science. We are developing nanovaccines and nanotherapeutics for respiratory infections, neural disorders, tropical diseases, cancer, and veterinary diseases. Our vision is that nanovaccines will revolutionize how we prevent and treat disease.
