Research summary

Robert J. Lee's work focuses on developing nanoparticle and lipid-based delivery systems for drugs and nucleic acids (like antisense oligonucleotides and small RNAs) to treat conditions such as cancer, osteoarthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases. Much of the research is applied pharmaceutical science, combining formulation techniques (such as solid lipid nanoparticles and solid dispersions) with testing in cell and animal models to improve how therapeutics are delivered and absorbed in the body. The publication record includes both full research articles and conference abstracts, often in collaboration with industry or clinical research groups.
