A team of Rice University scientists has developed a new drug delivery platform that researchers say can slow the rate of drug release, which has major implications for drug efficacy and potentially cancer immunotherapy. The research was published in Nature Nanotechnology, and supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas and the Welch Foundation. In the study, the team demonstrated how a peptide hydrogel...| InnovationMap
Nearly six months after the Trump administration froze $790 million in federal funding for Northwestern, faculty continue to confront a new academic research reality amid national changes. An uncertain future remains a paramount concern for researchers as they adapt to funding freezes, hiring halts and staff cuts. On April 8, the same day it froze...

As a first year graduate student at UCSF, I took a mandatory course titled Scientific Writing, which helped students apply for the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship. I was fortunate to receive the fellowship (Grant No. 1144247), which has funded the bulk of my PhD since its third year. At the end of each fellowship year, fellows submit an Annual Activities Report, which includes a written Fellowship Year Summary. Below I’ve reproduced …| Satoshi Village
