Sneaking Past the Body's Most Locked Door with Emily Day10 Aug25 min

How do you design a medicine that can find the right cells in the body, navigating the body's natural defenses like the blood-brain barrier? Biomedical engineer Emily Day  explains how nanotechnology is making drug delivery more precise by helping therapies navigate the body's natural barriers, target disease with greater accuracy, and reduce side effects. She also explores how bio-inspired nanoparticles, AI, and advances in diagnostics could shape the next generation of medicine.

Guest: Emily Day, PhD, Professor, Biomedical Engineering, University of Delaware

Hosts: Seth Zimmerman, associate director of marketing and communications, IIN, and Erin Spain, MS, podcaster and science communicator
