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.

It will be held on January 9th and is open to all members of the UConn community.
