Our approach

The Larsen Lab combines polymer science, biomaterials, nanotechnology, and drug delivery to solve problems associated with the central and peripheral nervous systems. We give particular focus to the development of polymersomes to bypass the blood-brain barrier. However, the approaches we take are quite flexible and can be applied to a multitude of cell and disease types. This goal brings with it both basic and applied science projects.

See our Research and Publications page for more detailed information. We are very thankful for current funding from the National Science Foundation (EBMS), National Institutes of Health (NINDS, NIGMS), and Clemson University.
