Nanomedicine Lab at UConn

If you don't know, chicken feet are considered a snack in China! Dr. Wuxia can attest!

It was cold and slightly slimy (I'm sorry I do not know how to describe the food here!) But it is an excellent snack in China, and Dr. Wuxia enjoyed it! There was a hint of

Congratulations to Jinhyung, our first year graduate student for publishing a book chapter on the Nucleic Acid Delivery Systems for Gene Therapy in Gene Delivery: Methods and Applications!!!! Link here to get the book! :D  Keep up the good work everyone!
