The controlled polymerization of cyclic carbonate monomers provides a valuable platform for advancing nanomedicine. Facile monomer derivatization enables polycarbonataes to be readily applied toward diverse applications such as delivery vectors, imaging agents and antimicrobial materials.  Since these polymers can be produced with high fidelity and narrow polydispersities, it is possible to combine their vast functionalization potential with higher order architecture to achieve biodegradable, non-toxic materials that push the boundaries of synthetic polymer chemistry.  This talk will focus on the development and utilization of relatively simple chemistries and their applications in complex healthcare problems.
