Welcome — I’m Stephen Paige

I’m a biomedical engineer developing ROS-responsive nanoparticles for inflammation-targeted imaging and drug delivery. As a PhD candidate at the University of Vermont, I build materials that activate selectively in oxidative stress to improve both diagnostic clarity and therapeutic precision.

What I Do

I design and synthesize polymer–nanoparticle systems, evaluate their drug-loading and release behavior, and validate their performance through imaging, cell studies, and in vivo models. My work integrates chemistry, materials science, immunology, and MRI to create translational solutions for immune-mediated disease.

How I Work

I lead cross-disciplinary R&D efforts, build screening workflows, model release kinetics, and translate complex datasets into clear development decisions. I also mentor students and contribute to manuscripts, conference presentations, and successful grant applications.

What Drives Me

I’m motivated by creating intelligent nanomaterials that meaningfully impact human health, bridging engineering innovation with real clinical need.
