Cancer is a very clever, adaptable disease. To defeat it, says medical researcher and educator Paula Hammond, we need a new and powerful mode of attack. With her colleagues at MIT, Hammond engineered a nanoparticle one-hundredth the size of a human hair that can treat the most aggressive, drug-resistant cancers. Learn more about this molecular superweapon and join Hammond's quest to fight a disease that affects us all.

A new superweapon in the fight against cancer

Innovative nanoparticles, one-hundredth the size of a human hair, offer a new, powerful approach to treat drug-resistant cancers.

This molecular superweapon, personalized to target specific cancers, shows promise in defeating aggressive tumors like ovarian cancer.

Engineering nanoparticles one-hundredth the size of a human hair, designed to selectively target and destroy drug-resistant cancer cells.
