The Shields Lab develops microscale and nanoscale particles that move outside of equilibrium (e.g., in response to magnetic, acoustic, or electric fields) and/or that interact with biological systems for drug delivery and biosensing applications. Specific areas of interest include understanding how to engineer particle systems for precise control in external fields, studying disease etiology using organ-on-a-chip devices, and creating adoptive cell transfers harboring nanoparticles for directed immunotherapy.
