Polymer Engineering for Pulsatile Release of Biologics

Engineering translatable technologies to help global population has been met with various challenges related to infrastructure, patient access and adherence. I will present how polymers can be leveraged with engineering design to develop solutions for global health. For example, the innovation of the SEAL (StampEd Assembly of polymer Layers) technology that allows controlled pulsatile release of biologics days to months after injection or implantation, for single-injection self-boosting vaccines, cancer immunotherapy and post-surgical therapy for tissue regeneration will be discussed.
