Research and life matters: Thoughts and stories for the talented 12
Paula Hammond is the department chair of chemical engineering and David H. Koch Chair Professor of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At the American Chemical Society’s national meeting on August 2019 in San Diego, Hammond reflected on the mentors and mindset that have propelled her remarkable career.
Biomedical Nanotechnology
Paula Hammond describes her research activities and discusses the importance of collaborating with scientists from other disciplines and explains why communicating science to the public is critical to make people not only aware but excited about advances in nanotechnology.
This tiny particle could roam your body to find tumors
What if we could find cancerous tumors years before they can harm us — without expensive screening facilities or even steady electricity? Physician, bioengineer and entrepreneur Sangeeta Bhatia leads a multidisciplinary lab that searches for novel ways to understand, diagnose and treat human disease. Her target: the two-thirds of deaths due to cancer that she says are fully preventable. With remarkable clarity, she breaks down complex nanoparticle science and shares her dream for a radical new cancer test that could save millions of lives..
