How nanoparticles could help medication reach the brain | Eden Tanner | TEDxUniversityofMississippi

What happens to medicine once it enters your body? How does a drug get to where it needs to go, and what if that place has a formidable defense system? These are questions being answered in Dr. Eden Tanner’s lab. She and her team are creating breakthroughs in drug delivery that should more effectively treat deadly and aggressive diseases and may even hold the key to preventing them. Dr. Eden E. L. Tanner, is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Mississippi. She holds an Advanced Science degree from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, and a doctorate in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry from the University of Oxford. She was a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard, where she worked with Samir Mitragotri. Tanner's lab at the University of Mississippi is developing nanoparticle drug delivery processes. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
