Research
The Landry Lab’s research centers on the development of synthetic nanoparticle-polymer conjugates for imaging neuromodulation in the brain, and for the delivery of genetic materials into plants. Our lab exploits the highly tunable chemical and physical properties of nanomaterials for the creation of bio-mimetic structures, molecular imaging, and plant genome editing. We accompany tool development with studies of ligand adsorption and protein corona formation on the surface of nanoparticles, towards enabling more seamless in vitro to in vivo translation of our many bionanotechnologies.
