The Bajpayee Lab @ Northeastern

The Bajpayee Lab represented Northeastern University at the 2026 International Cartilage Regeneration and Joint Preservation Summit (October 8 - 10th 2026, Porto, Portugal) with two presentations showcasing charge-engineered exosomes for cartilage gene therapy. Dr....

Congratulations to Professor Bajpayee and our lab for being named on the list of top 2% of the most-cited scientists with a single-year impact by Stanford University. Find out more [here]!

Congratulations to Dr. Tim Boyer and co-authors for publishing in Arthritis Research & Therapy an insightful and very much needed review on IL-1 inhibition strategies as a therapeutic strategy for OA! IL-1 inhibition has been a widely researched avenue of tackling...

With US National Nanotechnology Day on October 9th, Nanoscale highlighted a series of articles published by US authors in their journals, including our sustained release of neosaxitoxin work led by Dr. Hengli Zhang! Congratulations to Dr. Hengli Zhang and co-authors...

Our lab has been awarded a $3.1M NIH R01 Grant - Cartilage targeting exosomes for OA gene therapy and pain treatment! This project will continue our work on developing charge-reversed exosomes for non-viral gene therapy in OA. Prof. Rachel Miller from Rush University...

Congratulations to Dr. Helna Baby on successfully defending her doctoral thesis! Helna's work ranged from engineering of PLGA microparticles for targeted delivery of RhoA to nucleus pulposus for IVDD therapy to charge-reversed exosomes for mRNA gene delivery to...

Congratulations to Dr. Bill Hakim for successfully defending his doctoral thesis! Bill's work focused on the development of IGF-1 fusion proteins for cartilage regeneration for OA therapy. We will miss his steadfast presence in lab and look forward to seeing all he...

Congratulations to Dr. Hengli Zhang for successfully defending his doctoral thesis! Hengli's work focused on the delivery of anesthetics for OA through a variety of different methods including PLGA microparticles, fusion proteins, and exosomes. We look forward to all...
