A professor in Ohio State’s William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Jessica Winter is a well-known leader in nanobiotechnology and has invented materials used in cancer detection and research. She has developed methods to tightly pack multiple nanoparticles in polymer carriers so that their properties could be multiplied. This approach led to her invention of MultiDot, a group of semiconductor nanoparticle quantum dots that allow researchers to track tagged molecules. In biomedical applications, researchers can attach the MultiDot to specific cell structures and better identify and understand disease progression. After being diagnosed with cancer, she started Core Quantum Technologies, which commercialized her research and focuses on a nanoparticle diagnostic that matches cancer patients to therapies, allowing patients to become fully informed about the best possible treatments for their disease.
