ACS-Institutional Research Grant -Phase II Grant Funded to Mitigate Cardiotoxicity of Chemotherapeutics using our Nanocarriers

Excited that our phase-II proposal to the American Cancer Society’s Institutional Research Grant (ACS-IRG) program was funded. This was upon successful phase I completion of our proposal for a novel magnetically driven drug nanocarrier. We propose to use these drug nanocarriers to mitigate cardiotoxicity in the new study. The data generated by the study funded …
