Lipid
Nanoparticles
Polymeric micelles are a specific type of nanoparticle that are both biocompatible & good for drug delivery due to their high payload capabilites as well as their stability within the body.
Sonodynamic
Therapy
SDT utilizes ultrasound to non-invasively and safely release drugs into cells by minimally disturbing healthy cells and only causing nanoparticles that have been binded to releast the therapuetic.
Sonosensitizers
For SDT to work properly the nanoparticles need a way to release the drug from within - sonosensitizers are able to become excited with energy when activated causing the nanoparticle to release its payload.

Our Founders
Why do we care?
After seeing my grandmother get diagnosed with cancer early and go through chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and even surgery, just to see her die after 6 years - I knew something had to change.
When my mom was in college, my grandmother developed Uterine cancer. My experience with cancer is not unique, almost 1/3 of Americans have been affected by cancer leaving the rest of us knowing at least one if not more people who have suffered from the disease.
Who We Are
We are more than just
a bunch of kids.
We are a group of unicorn people aimed at impacting billions. As people that have seen the effects that cancer has first-hand we want to create a future where treating cancer is as simple as getting a flu shot.
