Tufts University, in partnership with LabCentral, invites you to Tufts in Translation: A Faculty Speaker Series — spotlighting early-stage discoveries with strong translational relevance.
Li Zeng, PhD
A Smart Way to Treat Osteoarthritis
Wednesday, April 8 | 11:30 AM–1:30 PM
LabCentral | 700 Main Street North, Cambridge, MA
Osteoarthritis remains one of the largest unmet needs in musculoskeletal medicine, with few disease-modifying options and significant challenges in achieving targeted therapeutic delivery.
On April 8, Li Zeng, PhD will present a nanoparticle system engineered to selectively localize to damaged cartilage and enable site-specific therapeutic expression — offering a precision approach designed to improve efficacy while limiting systemic exposure.
By targeting the disease microenvironment directly, this strategy introduces a differentiated pathway for advancing joint therapeutics.
Why Attend
• A targeted delivery strategy built for cartilage specificity
• A precision approach to improving therapeutic localization in joint disease
• Relevance for musculoskeletal, inflammation, and delivery-focused pipelines
• High-value networking within the LabCentral ecosystem
