The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded Dr. Mengxiao Yu‘s Unravel Nanoparticle Transport and Interactions in Renal Proximal Tubules research project. The $1.4 million award will help advance fundamental understanding of the size, charge, and surface chemistry effects on the transport and interactions of engineered nanoparticles in order to obtain a general strategy in minimizing their potential health hazards in their future clinical applications. Dr. Yu hopes to establish a foundation for developing kidney-safe nanomedicines that can be used in clinics.
