Research Interests
Dr. Panilaitis’ research focuses on the interface between the mammalian immune system and biomaterials. This has led to work in vaccine and drug delivery, as well as characterizing the innate and acquired immune response initiated by various biomaterials. In addition, his group utilizes molecular biology, microbiology, and chemical engineering to modify and tailor biomaterials to better understand their relationship with the immune response.
