Welcome!

You have found the website for Dr. Shawn Wettig's Research group in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Waterloo.

Our research is focused on the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel surface active compounds or "surfactants" with an eye toward applications in drug delivery. Current research projects are focused on the study novel cationic lipid DNA complexes (CLDCs) with potential application to genetic therapies, thermodynamic studies of surfactant and other self-assembling systems, and the development of fluorescent surfactants for mechanistic studies. On this site you will find information regarding my research interests, as well as a list of my publications, and links to other relevant websites.
