The Fiegel Lab works at the interface of engineering, surface science, and biology to design improved therapeutic aerosols for the treatment and prevention of respiratory disease.
Our research falls into two broad areas:
- the development of improved drug delivery strategies for the treatment and prevention of infections, and
- the enhancement our fundamental understanding of interactions between foreign material (both environmental aerosols and drug delivery systems) and biological environments.
Our collaborations span the University of Iowa campus, with ongoing projects with researchers in the Colleges of Engineering, Pharmacy, Medicine, and Public Health, as well as the Department of Chemistry.
