Joshua C. Doloff, PhD

Research Interests

Dr. Doloff’s lab in Immunoengineering and Regenerative Medicine is interested in systems biology for understanding tissue dynamics pertaining to immunologic engagement, with applications in biomaterial/biomedical devices, controlled drug delivery systems, and synthetic cellular engineering. Specific emphasis will be applied toward engineering improved therapies in the fields of cancer, autoimmunity and transplantation medicine (i.e. type 1 diabetes), and  ophthalmology.
