About Matthew Tsai

In my most recent role, I worked as a laboratory research assistant in the lab of Dr. William Gelbart at UCLA where I engineer virus-like nanoparticles as a platform for mRNA delivery to cells, with applications towards gene therapies. I am interested in the translation of virology, immunology, and mRNA technology research to develop novel therapies.
