Nanotechnology and Engineering for Medicine

Tuesday
April 26, 2022, 5:30 pm -
6:30 pm
  • Audience: Teens, Adults, Families
  • Topic: Engineering, Health & Medicine, Technology
  • Format: Virtual

Join us for a virtual tour of a UCSF Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences lab where researchers use nanoscale technologies to create new and improved ways to deliver medicine to target sites in the body and to enable the body to heal itself. The Desai Lab tackles important challenges in biomedicine, including research on diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

UCSF scientists will share about their research and take attendees on a virtual tour of the lab space, highlighting some of the equipment and experimental setups that are used in their research. The presentation and tour will be followed by a Q&A session with the lab’s researchers.
