Meet Nicholas A. Peppas
“This has been a banner year for my team, with achievements including our new treatment for hemophilia using oral delivery of hematological factor IX, and our work developing drug delivery systems of siRNA and interferons. I am driven by a continuous excitement to devise new treatments, new therapeutic agents, and new medical devices that will help patients who suffer from debilitating diseases. I am particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms and providing innovative treatments for autoimmune diseases.”
