Robert Langer is the David H. Koch Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he has pioneered biomedical engineering and drug delivery since 1978. He earned his Sc.D. in chemical engineering from MIT and his undergraduate degree from Cornell University. His research focuses on nanomedicine, tissue engineering, and mRNA delivery systems, with recent breakthroughs including machine-learning-accelerated ionizable lipid discovery for mRNA vaccines, RNA-lipid nanoparticle characterization via Cryo-OrbiSIMS, and drinkable in-situ-forming hydrogels for gastrointestinal therapeutics. His work has advanced nanoparticle-based RNA delivery, immunogenicity enhancement in lipid-nanoparticle vaccines, and extracellular vesicle-mediated mRNA transport to neurons. He collaborates extensively with leading institutions across the US, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, including Harvard University, ETH Zurich, and Seoul National University.
