During the past year the team was awarded an National Science Foundation and two NIH grants to design nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery through a combination of computer modeling and laboratory experiments. (sciencedaily.com)
Because they can be programmed to travel the body and selectively target cancer and other sites of disease, nanometer - scale vehicles called nanocarriers can deliver higher concentrations of drugs to bombard specific areas of the body while minimizing systemic side effects. (sciencedaily.com)
