Paula Hammond, head of the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT, has significantly impacted nanotechnology through her work on drug delivery systems. Her development of layer-by-layer (LbL) nanoscale assembly for targeted cancer therapy introduces a new method for combating cancer more effectively with fewer side effects. Hammond's innovative use of nanotechnology in medicine showcases the potential for nano-engineering in developing more efficient drug delivery mechanisms.
