Miami Ph.D. student, associate professor published in chemistry journal

Miami University’s Zachary Mentzer, Ph.D. student in Engineering, and Mehdi Zanjani, associate professor of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, were recently published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry B by the American Chemical Society.

Mentzer co-authored the paper, ”Elucidating the Drug Delivery Mechanism in Porous Antibody Implants Using Molecular Simulations and Graph Theory,” with Zanjani and Yoonjee Park of the University of Cincinnati. This paper investigates how the geometric structure of pore networks within membranes, along with the steric effects of antibody structure, influence the release kinetics of drug delivery systems.
