TRANSPORT

Gemstone Honors Program
University of Maryland, College Park
Class of 2024

Welcome to Team TRANSPORT

Team TRANSPORT is a student research team at the University of Maryland as part of the Gemstone Honors Program. We are working to improve pancreatic cancer therapeutics through the advancement of nanoparticle technology and targeted nanoscale drug delivery systems. Although pancreatic cancer treatments already exist, we are looking to develop a novel drug treatment that is more effective than current therapeutics.

Pipetting Samples

Research Questions:

How can we use nanoparticles to target drug delivery to pancreatic cancer cells and control the release rate of these therapeutic drugs?

​

How can we use nanoparticles to decrease the cost of cancer drug treatments?
