Our research looks at the basic mechanism of drug resistance in bacteria or cancer cells and then we work on translational solutions to combat these problems. Our approach felt validated at this meeting where we networked with industry end-users as well as disease-on-a chip modeling academicians.

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 …

RIDING TO FIGHT KIDS’ CANCER
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids’ cancer! Only 4% of the billions of dollars the government spends annually on cancer research is directed towards treating childhood cancer. Right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed …

An Interesting Write-up on our Novel Class of Antibacterials to Tackle Antibiotic Resistant Pathogens
According to the World Health Organization, one of the biggest health threats around the world is antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Researchers at Notre Dame are working to combat this problem by developing a nanoparticle-based system. Please check out this press release written by Brandi Wampler, our science communication specialist at Notre Dame Research. https://news.nd.edu/news/new-technology-could-help-tackle-antibiotic-resistance/ The peer-reviewed publication …
