Zongmin Zhao, PhD, is Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the Retzky College of Pharmacy at UIC. Delivering drugs specifically to the tumor sites while avoiding off-target accumulation is the key to develop effective cancer therapies. His research program strives to develop new nanotechnology- and cell-based drug delivery technologies to target the tumor microenvironment. That research focus includes leveraging the body’s own cells as delivery vesicles for tumor targeting and engineering nanoscale materials for tumor immunomodulation. The Zhao Lab strives to innovate drug delivery, cellular engineering and immunoengineering technologies for advanced medicine, with the ultimate goal to improve the diagnosis and treatment of a range of diseases including cancer.
