This image was taken to investigate the targeting capabilities of the nanoparticles for a given cancer cell type. It shows the flooding of cancer cells with targeted medicine to deliver potent cocktails of drugs. This technology is one of the workhorses of the Hammond lab towards the manufacturing of new and innovative therapies for cancer.
