Article Synopsis
- Plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) characterization is vital for developing new drugs, but there's limited understanding of PK in nanoparticle drug delivery systems.* -
- A meta-analysis of 100 nanoparticle formulations showed that while individual nanoparticle properties (like size and zeta potential) do not strongly predict PK outcomes, combining multiple properties does improve predictability.* -
- Better reporting of nanoparticle characteristics is essential for accurately comparing different nanoformulations and predicting their behavior in living organisms.*
Introduction: Physician-scientist training programs expect applicants to have had extensive research experience prior to applying. Even at the best of times, this leaves individuals from underserved and underrepresented backgrounds at a competitive disadvantage, especially those remote from major academic centers. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated that disadvantage by closing research laboratories and suspending summer research opportunities.

By applying lessons learned to create better preventative methods and speedier interventions, the harm of a future pandemic may be dramatically reduced. One potential measure is the widespread use of contact tracing apps.
