Bio

Professor Reed's research program falls at the interface between nanoscience and medicine. The first focus of his research is on nanoparticle-lipid conjugates as membrane mimics and the second is on nanomaterials for phototherapeutic applications. This research will have a significant impact on the diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of disease.
