Thomas Werfel, right, associate professor of biomedical engineering, recently published an article in ACS Nano in October that shows cancer drug delivery can be improved by coating the nanoparticles that contain the medication in a sugar-like substance called glycopolymer. This coating prevents immune response and improves drug delivery.
