Iontophoretic devices to help treat pancreatic cancer

AIChE member Joseph DeSimone, a professor of chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and distinguished professor of chemical engineering at North Carolina State University, was a corresponding author of a study that created a device that is surgically implanted to deliver drugs to pancreatic tumors. It was effectively tested on mice, and researchers hope it will eventually help with the deadly cancer in humans.
