Theresa Raimondo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering at Brown University, with a secondary appointment in the Division of Biology and Medicine. Her research primarily focuses on the design and development of targeted drug delivery vectors and novel RNA-based therapeutics for applications in cancer, immunotherapy, and tissue regeneration. Dr. Raimondo’s work has significantly contributed to the advancement of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for RNA-based therapies, particularly in the development of adjuvanted mRNA-based vaccines and siRNA-based cancer immunotherapies. By utilizing innovative engineering approaches, she aims to optimize LNP formulations through modulation of RNA constructs, both in terms of sequence and chemical modifications. Additionally, Dr. Raimondo's past research includes the development of immune-modulating gold nanoparticles and hydrogels for muscle regeneration, which she explored during her graduate studies at Harvard University, where she earned her Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences – Bioengineering in 2019. She also holds a Sc.B. in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from Brown University, awarded in 2011. Dr. Raimondo has received several prestigious awards, including the 2022 Convergence Scholar fellowship from MIT’s Marble Center for Cancer Nanomedicine and the National Science Foundation graduate research fellowship.
