NORMAN, OKLA. - University of Oklahoma researcher Stefan Wilhelm, Ph.D., recently received a prestigious Faculty Early Career Development Program Award from the National Science Foundation.
The NSF awarded Wilhelm a $761,727 CAREER award to continue his research in nanotechnology, which assists in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as cancer. Wilhelm's work focuses on individual nanoparticles - which are about 1,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair - and how they interact with the body's cells.
