Research Focus
Shannon Sirk’s research focuses on engineering innovative approaches to the production and delivery of biological therapeutics, including cancer therapies. The Sirk lab’s overarching goal is to reduce cost and increase access to cutting-edge treatments, with a specific focus on engineered antibodies. To circumvent the standard manufacturing and administration processes for these drugs, Sirk and her group are developing platforms to establish in vivo cellular reservoirs that produce therapeutic proteins in a sustained, controlled manner.
