Using Nanotechnology to Fight Cancer
Chemistry professor Chris Landry is studying how to enhance the efficacy of cancer drugs by using nanotechnology to better transport these drugs. Because nano-materials have a great deal of internal volume, they can potentially transport more of a drug to the cell where it's needed.
These videos are part of the award-winning series "Emerging Science," produced by Vermont Public Television with funding from Vermont EPSCoR.
