A research poster is a visual communication tool that allows you to describe and share your research in a concise graphic format. It can attract attention, convey information clearly, and initiate conversations at any stage of the research process. Researchers often create posters before the completion of the research project in order to invite feedback […]

Dr. Zdravka Medarova Associate Professor in Radiology, Harvard Medical School Progress Towards Rational Cancer Therapy Over 90% of deaths from cancer are, in fact, due to metastasis and not the primary tumor. However, development of cancer therapeutics is traditionally focused on the primary tumor, which is partly the reason behind the poor outcomes in […]

Karen Liby, Ph.D. Associate Professor at Pharmacology & Toxicology, Michigan State University Despite tremendous progress in our understanding of the biology of cancer, the translation of these advances into a clinical benefit has not kept pace, as the number of deaths from cancer remain unacceptably high. However, rapid advancements in nanomedicine provide opportunities to […]

Jon Dobson, Ph.D. J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering & Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Florida The use of magnetic micro‐ and nanoparticles for biomedical applications was first proposed in the 1920s as a way to measure the rheological properties of the cytoplasm. Since that time, particle synthesis techniques and […]

Bijay Singh, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Research Associate, Northeastern University Tuning Polymeric Nanoparticles for Efficient Gene Delivery Polymeric nanoparticles for gene delivery can enter the cells through different endocytic pathways and get trapped in endosomes. Hence, the release of DNA from endosomes, that is, endosomal escape prior to their degradation in lysosomes, appears to be a major […]
