Nano Matters

A nanotechnology approach to cancer treatment

Episode Summary

In this episode, we discuss how nanotechnology can be applied to treat cancer. Our guest, Chad Mirkin of Northwestern University, and his colleagues, have developed a cancer therapy that is fueled by nanotechnology. Their technique activates the immune system in a unique way to fight diseases like cancer. This is the first episode of the Nano Matters podcast! Stay tuned for more episodes.
