Moe Wehbe

Moe Wehbe, PhD, is a scientist and entrepreneur specializing in lipid-based drug delivery systems, such as lipid nanoparticles and liposomes. His work has spanned cancer, vaccines, gene editing, diabetes, and obesity. Dr. Wehbe completed his PhD at the University of British Columbia, followed by postdoctoral research at Vanderbilt University. He now leads Moeda Consulting Corp., helping biotech teams translate new ideas into therapies. 

Wehbe is collaborating with Vijay T. John, PhD, at Tulane University to evaluate a new way of making multilayered vesicles—tiny, layered spheres that can carry medicines. This approach may allow more drug to be packed inside, combine multiple medicines in one carrier, and improve stability, with potential applications in both pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
