About AMIDD Lab

We design disease-specific drug delivery systems and evaluate their physicochemical properties to maximize therapeutic efficacy. By fine-tuning vehicle mechanics, surface chemistry, and targeting moieties, we engineer targeted platforms tailored to unique pathological microenvironments.

Our research spans from rational synthesis of delivery systems and comprehensive characterization to evaluating cellular internalization, biological stability, and in vivo therapeutic performance. Ultimately, our goal is to overcome physiological barriers, reduce systemic toxicity, and deliver therapeutic cargos to precise disease sites.

연구 분야

국소 항암 치료를 위한 약물전달시스템 모식도
01

Local Cancer Therapy with Drug Delivery Systems 약물전달시스템을 이용한 국소 항암 치료

We develop advanced drug delivery systems (DDS), including multifunctional microspheres and hydrogels, engineered for localized cancer therapy. By integrating smart biomaterials with precise targeting, our research aims to overcome solid tumor barriers, maximize therapeutic efficacy directly at the tumor site, and eliminate systemic toxicity for next-generation locoregional treatments.

02

Nanoparticle-Based Systemic Cancer Therapy 나노입자 기반 전신 항암 치료

We engineer multifunctional nanoparticles tailored for precise tumor targeting in cancer therapy. By leveraging active receptor targeting and smart stimulus-responsive mechanisms, our nanomedicine platforms efficiently penetrate tumor microenvironments. This approach ensures maximal drug accumulation directly within cancer cells while minimizing off-target side effects for safer and high-efficacy oncology treatments.

Transdermal and Topical Drug Delivery 경피 및 국소 약물전달

We design advanced microneedle platforms and responsive hydrogels for effective transdermal and topical drug delivery. By bypassing skin barriers with minimal invasiveness, our smart biomaterials enable sustained, localized therapeutic release. This strategy dramatically enhances drug bioavailability directly at target tissues while improving patient compliance.

Non-Invasive Mucosal & Pulmonary Drug Delivery 비침습적 점막 및 폐 약물전달

We develop innovative non-invasive delivery platforms targeting intranasal, oromucosal, and pulmonary routes. By engineering mucosal-adhesive formulations and aerosolizable nanocarriers, our systems overcome epithelial barriers to achieve rapid mucosal absorption and direct lung targeting, enabling highly efficient, non-systemic therapeutics for systemic and respiratory disorders.
