Christopher Alabi began his research career as an undergraduate student under the direction of Professor David Schuster at New York University, where he received his B.S. in Chemistry. He earned a B.E. in Chemical Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology and later pursued a graduate degree in Chemistry at the California Institute of Technology with Professor Mark Davis. His dissertation focused on proton conductive membranes for targeted nanoparticle delivery. In 2009, Alabi became a NIH Postdoctoral Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under Professor Langer Anderson. He joined the Cornell faculty in summer 2013 as an Assistant Professor in the R.F. Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. His research focuses on the assembly of new sequence-defined macromolecules to create stimuli-responsive materials, develop efficient drug delivery bioconjugates, and design potent antimicrobial agents. The Alabi lab employs synthetic analytical tools to enhance understanding and facilitate the engineering of precise functional macromolecular materials for therapeutics.
