Sungwon Lim
Bio-X Bioengineering Graduate Fellow 2011/2012

Sungwon is particularly passionate about the process of developing molecular therapeutics and delivery systems. He will focus on his interests by investigating the structural and chemical properties of biomaterials to enhance the stability and delivery efficiency of therapeutics to their target sites in vivo by studying cell physiology to understand the precise mechanisms of the cellular uptake of therapeutic macromolecules and by exploring the field of molecular engineering to discover the elements that determine proper activa-tion of the delivered therapeutics. All of these explorations will accelerate overcoming substantial barriers in the drug delivery system and maximize the therapeutic effect of molecular medicines.
