About Us

Integrated Research Lab for Medicinal Nano and Life Science

Advancing drug delivery, biomaterial engineering, and nanomedicine at Inha University College of Medicine.

Introduction

Healthy Research for Your Health

Our laboratory mainly deals with drug synthesis, medical device design, biomaterial synthesis and preparation to contribute to the medical industry.

We are conducting the challenge of drug delivery, macromolecular oral delivery such as protein and peptide — researching platforms for a new drug delivery system, and ultimately striving to develop patient convenience and advancement in the medical industry.

Located at Jungsuk Bldg B-501, Inha University College of Medicine, Incheon, Korea — we welcome students passionate about biomedicine and nanoscience.

Drug Delivery Systems

Cancer vaccines, organelle-targeting technology, and intelligent polymer nanoparticles for sequential release of gene therapeutics and chemotherapeutics in the tumor microenvironment.

Space Medicine

Utilizing space-accelerated aging environments for anti-aging target discovery and drug screening for neurodegenerative and muscular diseases. Countermeasures against space radiation.

Smart Medical Devices

Stimuli-responsive polymer-coated implantable devices that release drugs on-demand via ultrasound, magnetic fields, or light for targeted cancer therapy.
