Amadu Tadesse is a 2nd year Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics Major. He is currently working in the Jonas Lab which focuses on development and application of new nanotechnologies and methods to support the childhood cancer and regenerative medicine research communities in accelerating the discovery and implementation of innovative gene therapy approaches and diagnostic strategies. His current projects focus on the development of nanotechnology and cancer therapeutics to treat prostate cancer, as well as the development of a gene therapy treatment for Cystic Fibrosis. These projects both involve the use of lipid nanoparticles to deliver this therapeutic cargo to specific regions of the body. He would like to thank Dr. Steven Jonas and the Jonas lab as a whole for the continued support through his journey in research.
