Justin Zook, PhD

Since starting as a postdoctoral research associate at NIST in January 2009, Justin’s research interests have focused on the synthesis of liposomes in microfluidic devices. Specifically, he plans to focus on the characterization of different lipid membrane compositions and on the application of microfluidically-synthesized liposomes for targeted drug delivery.
