Research summary

Kurt D. Ristroph works on formulating drugs and agrochemicals into nanoparticles to improve how well poorly soluble compounds dissolve and get absorbed by the body or taken up by plants. A central technique in this research is Flash NanoPrecipitation, a rapid mixing process used to make nanoparticles with controlled internal structure, which is applied to problems ranging from oral drug delivery and lipid nanoparticle design to targeted delivery of chemicals within plant tissues. The lab also studies the internal molecular organization (liquid crystalline structure) of these nanoparticles and how it affects drug release rates.
