Accurately targeting drugs to appropriate tissue and cell types makes drugs more effective and minimizes side effects. Researchers in the Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology utilize nanotechnology to develop nanoparticles for the delivery of therapeutic small molecules and RNAs. These researchers are also developing chemistry that mediates the controlled release of “nanomedicines” into target tissue by sensing environmental cues like pH.
