Brinker publishes paper in ‘Nature Communications’ on improving drug delivery
November 14, 2018 - By Kim Delker
Jeffrey Brinker, professor of chemical and biological engineering at The University of New Mexico, recently published a paper in the journal Nature Communications.
“Establishing the effects of mesoporous silica nanoparticle properties on in vivo disposition using imaging-based pharmacokinetics” examines the issue of improving nanoparticle-based drug delivery. The paper explains how researchers, using integrated imaging techniques and mathematical modeling, have discovered how to improve design of nanomedicines for greater effect.
Along with Brinker, UNM authors on the paper are Natalie L. Adolphi, from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Yu-Shen Lin, from the Department of Internal Medicine; Achraf Noureddine, from the Center for Microengineered Materials and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Kimberly S. Butler, from the Center for Microengineered Materials and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Paul N. Durfee, from the Center for Microengineered Materials and the UNM Molecular Genetics and Microbiology; Jonas G. Croissant, from the Center for Microengineered Materials and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Eric N. Coker, from Applied Optical and Plasma Science at UNM; and Elaine L. Bearer, from the Department of Pathology.
Brinker also holds an appointment at Sandia National Laboratories as a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff, as well as affiliations with the Center for Microengineered Materials and the Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology.
