  • Louis DeRidder is innovating drug delivery technology through projects like CLAUDIA, aiming to personalize chemotherapy dosing.

Louis DeRidder, a 23-year-old MIT graduate, has developed a groundbreaking drug delivery system aimed at improving chemotherapy treatments. His innovative technology, which has caught the attention of Harvard Medical School, focuses on reducing the severe side effects associated with chemotherapy by precisely targeting cancer cells. This targeted approach minimizes damage to healthy cells, potentially decreasing side effects like hair loss, nausea, and fatigue. DeRidder's work involves the use of nanoparticles that can navigate through the body to deliver drugs directly to tumor sites. His collaboration with Harvard aims to refine this technology for clinical applications, promising a new era in cancer treatment where efficacy and patient comfort are significantly enhanced.
