The Pinkerton Research Group is interested in developing responsive soft materials for bioapplications ranging from controlled drug delivery, to vaccines to medical imaging. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, we use tools from chemical and materials engineering, nanotechnology, chemistry and biology to create soft materials via scalable synthetic processes. We focus on understanding how process parameters control the final material properties, and in turn, how the material behaves in biological systems.
