Yao Jiang, a grad student in Prof. Liangfang Zhang’s lab, is making nanoparticles that can “train the immune system to fight cancer.” These nanoparticles are coated in the membranes of cancer cells and have shown promise in mice.
Jiang describes her project in this video, taken at NanoXpo 2018 this past May:
Poster title: "Cancer cell membrane-coated nanoparticles for anticancer vaccination"
NanoXpo is an annual event held by the Graduate Society of Nanoengineers to showcase graduate research in the UC San Diego Department of NanoEngineering.
