Our laboratory develops synthetic materials as tools to dissect cellular immunology and as delivery agents for new immunotherapies and vaccines. In this talk, 3 examples illustrating work from our laboratory will be described. In the first segment, a new strategy for transcutaneous drug delivery we have termed “microneedle tattooing” will be described. In a second example, we turn to a cellular therapy for cancer. In a final project, we return to the problem of vaccines: targeting antigens and immunostimulatory agents to lymph nodes.
