Maynard Research Group
The Maynard Group uses chemistry to create new delivery systems that positively impact human health.
Our Goals
The Maynard Group conducts research at the cutting edge of polymers and medicine. Our goals are to:
Create interesting chemistries and approaches to synthesize protein-polymer conjugates
Develop novel drug delivery materials with the potential to improve human health.
Research
Responsive Medicines
Drug delivery vehicles that release the medicine only where and/or when it is needed
Conjugate Synthesis
Novel chemistries to prepare protein-polymer conjugates and linkers for antibody drug conjugates
Biologic Stabilization
Polymers and excipients that stabilize protein therapeutics inside and outside of the body
Bioactive polymers
Microbes are employed to synthesize monomers to make polymers and hydrogels that degrade and are bioactive
Prospective Students
Postdoctoral Researchers: Currently no funded positions are available for postdoctoral research to join the Maynard Group. Please check back for updates. If you have funding, please submit your application here. Please note the email applications are not accepted.
Graduate Students: The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers two graduate PhD programs: the Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology Graduate Program and the Chemistry Graduate Program. Students may apply to either program, but not both at the same time. CLICK HERE FOR APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Once you are admitted to the program, YOU MAY CLICK HERE to inquire about graduate student positions/potential projects in the Maynard Group.
