Center Affiliation and Expertise: Center Member, Nanotoxicology
Research in Dr. Fiegel’s laboratory focuses in two broad areas: 1) the design of improved therapeutic drug delivery strategies for the treatment and prevention of infections and 2) enhancing our fundamental understanding of interactions between foreign materials and biological environments. Our work in aerosol biointeractions is applied to both environmental aerosols and inhalable drug delivery systems. While most of our work has focused on respiratory infections, we have expanded our efforts to develop sprayable systems for skin infections which complements our expertise in formulation development, aerosol spray analysis, and bacterial pathogen eradication.
