The overarching goal of the Pannier Lab is to understand the mechanisms which render cells responsive to DNA transfer, concentrating on the extracellular environment of the cell, as well as the intracellular processes and subsequent signaling involved during non-viral gene delivery for applications to gene therapy and tissue engineering. We are also interested in developing novel biomaterials and fabrication techniques for gene delivery and tissue engineering, and exploring extracellular and nutritional effects on epigenetic profiles in small cell populations and tissue engineering constructs.
