News and Updates
August 2024 - We are delighted to announce that Oleh has been appointed Associate Dean of Research for the College of Pharmacy of OSU! Congratulations!
Congratulations to Tanya, Vlad, and Amy for presenting some exciting work at OHSU Research Week!
May 2023 - We are excited to have NIH/NCATS - R01 - fund our research on the development of novel nanomedicine for placental imaging and magnetic hyperthermia for management of ectopic pregnancy. Looking forward to working with Dr. Myatt's team (Obstetr&Gynec, OHSU).

Small just published our study on the use of systemically delivered magnetic hyperthermia for the treatment of endometriosis.
Abraham gave an oral presentation at 2022 SRI (Society for Reproductive Investigation) Annual meeting, in Denver CO!
Our work focused on the nanomedicine approach for Ewing's Sarcoma was published in both Pharmaceutics 2021 and Nanomedicine 2021.
September 2021 - We are excited to have NIH/ NICHD fund our research on magnetic hyperthermia for endometriosis treatment and looking forward to work with the Dr. Slayden team from the Oregon National Primate Research Center.
What We Do
The research in Taratula Lab is focused on the development of nanomaterial-based multifunctional drug delivery systems for application in the diagnostic and treatment of cancer, endometriosis, and cachexia. Employing nanomaterials for overcoming the drug delivery obstacle is one promising approach for transporting agents of interest (drugs, genes, imaging probes, hyperthermia, etc.) specifically to the targeted cells or proteins. The lab collaborates within the OSU College of Pharmacy as well as Earle A. Chiles Research Institute of Providence Portland Medical Center, Oregon National Primate Research Center, Department of Pediatrics in School of Medicine, and others. The main goal is a translation of the developed nano-drugs into clinical practice.
