Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer of the adrenal glands, with high-risk cases causing ~50% of deaths due to relapse and intensive treatment. This project develops a targeted miRNA therapy by conjugating miRNA-loaded, disulfide-crosslinked polymer nanoparticles (PNPs) to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which naturally home to tumors. The goal is to harness/engineer MSCs and evaluate MSC-mediated delivery of miRNA to neuroblastoma to improve specificity and efficacy.
