Pamela Wong

Pamela Wong, Ph.D., is a Research Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine BME at the University of Michigan. Her work focuses on developing nanoparticles for vaccine adjuvants and drug delivery systems, with applications in immunology, virology, and biomedical engineering.

Research Interests: Her laboratory explores emulsion-based adjuvants to enhance immunity against influenza and SARS-CoV-2, dendrimer-based nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery and imaging, and multidisciplinary approaches combining biochemistry, biophysics, and immunology. Key areas include improving mucosal immune responses via intranasal vaccines and studying nanoparticle interactions with biological pathways.

Labs/Teams: Her research is conducted in the Biomedical Sciences Research Building, Room 4318, Ann Arbor, MI. The lab emphasizes translational research bridging nanotechnology and clinical applications.
