Research in our laboratory focuses on the polymer science-medicine interface. Areas of interest include development and modeling of novel drug delivery systems, particularly for the release of insulin and growth factors; designing small-diameter vascular grafts with better compliance; development of novel bioadhesive polymers for oral delivery systems; liquid crystals as smart sensors; the use of nanoparticles as novel therapeutic delivery systems (nanomedicine), tissue markings, DNA delivery.

Dr. Mathiowitz, Associate Professor of Medical Science & Engineering and Director of the Graduate Program in Artificial Organs, Biomaterials, and Cellular Technology in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Biotechnology of Brown University, received her Ph.D. in the Department of Structural Chemistry at the Weizmann Institute. At MIT, she continued her research as a postdoctoral student under Dr. Robert Langer. Since then, Dr. Mathiowitz has been involved in research developing oral bioadhesive delivery systems for Proteins and genes, microencapsulation of proteins and genes, and tissue engineering of vascular grafts. She has published 90 papers, has 30 patents, and is a consultant to many biotech companies. She is also the founder of Spherics. A RI Biotech company.
