According to Dr. Chen, “we developed a nanoparticle-based therapeutic for treating osteoarthritis. Our nanoparticles have a unique nano-rod shape, enabling better penetration into articular cartilage compared to traditional spherical nanoparticles. The Advanced Light Microscopy Facility will be holding a one day workshop on image analysis using the free program ImageJ. It will be held on January 9th and is open to all members of the UConn community. Information and registration can be found at https://confocal.uconn.edu/analysisworkshop/ Want to see more of the core facilities that UConn Storrs and Health have to offer?
