    Our all-star line-up features Dr. C. Jeffrey Brinker, UNM Professor in Chemical and Nuclear Engineering, Molecular Genetics and Microbiology. On the cutting edge of materials science, Jeffrey is developing nanoscale materials for curing cancer, microelectronics, and energy harvesting. He and his students are building and engineering nanoscale materials to deliver drugs directly to cancer cells, therefore avoiding the collateral damage associated with traditional chemical therapies. Jeff believes that nanoparticles may change the way personalized medicine is delivered in the very near future. A nanometer is defined as one billionth of a meter. That is one times ten to the minus nine meters. - Jeffrey Brinker
