There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Seminar Abstract
Nanoparticle formulations of hydrophobic drugs present unique opportunities for treatment of
solid tumor cancers, aerosol drug delivery, and novel vaccine adjuvants. The common
requirements of these applications are precise control of particle size and surface functionality.
For cancer therapy particles in the size range of 100-200 nm passively pass through defects in the
vasculature in tumors and deposit by
