Research Focus
Dr. Tamara Minko's lab at Rutgers focuses on creating personalized medical treatments for women with ovarian cancer using advanced nanotechnology. By studying the individual genetic profiles of tumors, the lab aims to design tailored drug delivery systems that improve chemotherapy effectiveness and reduce the chances of resistance. Their work is crucial because it represents a significant advancement in treating gynecologic cancers, making therapies more personal and potentially more effective for patients.
