Synthesis & Characterization of Self-Assembling Nanoparticles for Applications in Site-Specific Drug Delivery

How's that for a title? I enjoyed an awesome internship this summer at the Biomimetic Nanostructures Lab, at the California NanoSciences Institute, UCSB. I got to make amphiphilic polymers - specifically, light-sensitive molecules - that are designed for site-specific drug delivery to cancers. I couldn't have asked for better mentors - thank you Mike Isaacman and Luke Theogarajan! Here's my final presentation:
