      That is very cool. Part of my postdoc was trying to attach doxorubicin molecules to a polymer backbone with the aim of mimicking the pharmacokinetics of liposomal doxorubicin at a fraction of the cost. It didn't really go anywhere unfortunately

        hoping my thesis work out better haha. that sounds quite interesting though. We actually are using polymeric nanoparticles as a delivery vehicle for gene editing reagents.
