Santiago Correa is currently a Ruth L. Kirschstein F32 Postdoctoral Fellow in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Stanford University, where he works on immunomodulatory biomaterials in the Appel Lab. Santiago is primarily interested in developing nanotechnology for both macro- and nanoscale drug delivery vehicles. Prior to his postdoctoral work, Santiago received his PhD in Biological Engineering from MIT, where he investigated how nanoparticle surface chemistry could be engineered to target ovarian cancer and to fabricate multifunctional nanomaterials in the Hammond Lab. As a graduate student, Santi was supported by several grants and fellowships including a Siebel Scholars Fellowship, a Sloan Scholars Fellowship, MIT's Lemelson Engineering Presidential Fellowship, and a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Santiago obtained his BS in Biomedical Engineering from Yale University, where he conducted research on the foreign body response to brain implants in the Kyriakides Lab.
