In recent combat theaters, despite advances in treating critical injuries leading to higher survival rates, there has been an increase in the number of infections linked to trauma, particularly those caused by bacteria resistant to multiple drugs 1,2. Research from the Trauma Infectious Disease Outcomes Study indicates that 27% of those evacuated with injuries develop …

Biomedical research is at risk of losing the antibiotics vs. pathogens arms race. Pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, and salmonellosis are becoming harder and sometimes impossible to treat due to the fast emergence and global spread of new antibiotic resistance. Without urgent action, we are heading for a post-antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries …

We are extremely excited and thankful to the American Cancer Society and the Harper Cancer Research Institute for facilitating this seed grant for our work on label-free targeting of undruggable cancer cells. We intend to target non-targetable cancer cells by tuning the force exerted by label-free nanomaterials at the cell membrane to selectively permeabilize the …

Over the last two decades, nanotechnology has become one of the most dynamically evolving field of research. Various types of nanoparticles are widely exploited to extend our understanding of biological interactions at the molecular level. They are actively engaged in the biomedical research for imaging, biosensing, drug delivery and/or concurrent therapy. Recent progress on this …
