The Mooney lab focuses on making therapies more effective and practical. Our research involves exploiting our understanding of cell and molecular biology to design biomaterials that effect and potentiate specific cell functions. The lab members consist of post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, research fellows, and visiting scholars from diverse academic backgrounds. For more information, please visit our publications page, and for any inquiries, please visit our contact page.
Congrats to Simon on his recent publication which describes a novel hydrogen peroxide-based assay for metabolite detection in whole blood.

Congrats to Nisarg, Alex and team on their recent publication which describes a macroporous-biomaterial vaccine for the treatment of acute myeloid lymphoma (AML). The AML vaccine prevented the engraftment of tumor cells when administered as a prophylactic and in combination with chemotherapy, and eradicated established disease even in the absence of defined vaccine antigens.
