Robert Langer is an Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. His research primarily focuses on investigating controlled release polymeric delivery systems and their mechanisms. He works on the mathematical modeling and development of effective long-term delivery systems for insulin, anti-cancer drugs, growth factors, gene therapy agents, and vaccines. Langer is known for his innovative work in developing controlled release systems that are magnetically, ultrasonically, and enzymatically triggered to increase release rates. His contributions to the field of biomedical engineering have been significant, especially in the design of ingestible medical devices and drug delivery systems. Langer's research also addresses the challenges of testing new drugs and understanding how they are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.
