Scientists at Harvard University are pursuing many novel approaches to fighting cancer, including nanoparticles attached to red blood cells that can escape detection by the body’s liver and spleen, which could pave the way for more effective, less toxic drug delivery.

Researchers have developed a blueprint for understanding and predicting the properties and behavior of complex nanoparticles and optimizing their use for a broad range of scientific applications. These applications include catalysis, optoelectronics, transistors, bio-imaging, and energy storage and conversion.

Researchers are developing the tools necessary for precise delivery of a certain amount of drugs to an exact location in the body. This method takes advantage of microbubbles expanding and contracting when they interact with the ultrasound, essentially pumping the intravenously delivered drug to wherever the ultrasound is pointing.

Researchers have invented a new ultrasensitive diagnostic device that could allow doctors to detect cancer quickly from a droplet of blood or plasma, leading to timelier interventions and better outcomes for patients. The “lab-on-a-chip” for “liquid biopsy” analysis detects exosomes — tiny parcels of biological information produced by tumor cells to stimulate tumor growth or metastasize.

Scientists have developed a new technique that could make genetically engineering any type of plant—in particular, gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9—simple and quick. Also, the technique allows gene modifications or deletions that in the United States and countries other than the European Union would not trigger the designation "genetically modified," or GMO.
