Miniature, implantable LED device fights cancer with light
July 10, 2024
Light therapy has been effective in treating surface and nearby skin cancers when used with a light-activated drug. However, cancers situated deep within the body, surrounded by tissue, blood, and bone, have been difficult to treat using light. To address this challenge, engineers and scientists at the University of Notre Dame have developed an implantable wireless LED device.

Raspberry-Shaped Nanoparticle for Precise Drug Delivery
December 08, 2022
Bradley Smith, who is also the director of Notre Dame’s Integrated Imaging Facility, was perplexed when Canjia Zhai and Cassandra Shaffer, two doctoral students in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, found they had altered the structure of particles of silica—the primary component of sand—at 80 °C, or about the same as the temperature of a cup of coffee.
