From mRNA vaccines to antimalarial drugs, vast global health initiatives depend on nanoparticle technology to deliver medicine to target cells. Robert K. Prud’homme has led a team of Princeton University researchers for 20 years in developing a simple way to formulate these medicines in a precise, scalable process called flash nanoprecipitation.
First invented in 2003 in a Princeton engineering lab, today this process and its enabling devices have been adopted by some of the world’s largest and most important health organizations to fight COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, diarrhea, toxoplasmosis and other life-threatening diseases that have an outsized impact across the Global South. In this video, Prud’homme speaks about the nature of his innovation and its role in the field of medicine.
