I will discuss my laboratory’s effort in developing tractable ex vivo immune organoids for generating highly specific immune cells in a dish and to elucidate the role of epigenetic modifiers in the rapid immune response against infection. I will subsequently describe designer bio-adhesive hydrogels and lymphatic-mimicking technologies for understanding the role of the lymphoid microenvironment in genetically diverse lymphomas and potential causes of drug resistance, including lymphoid tissue mechanics and lymphatic-like fluid flow. Finally, I will discuss how nanomaterials can be harnessed for immunomodulation in metabolic disorders mediated through the altered gut microbiome.
