The primary and secondary goals this work addresses are discovery and learning, respectively. These findings reduce the cost of MNP drug delivery by using a nanomaterial which is naturally internalized by the target cells. Having established that the antibiotic drug retains antibacterial effects without triggered drug release will contribute to this field dramatically. While developing these materials, we have emphasized the necessity of green chemistry methods and the production of non-toxic materials for the sake of the patients, our employees, and our environment. Many students have had the opportunity to learn the requirements of these methods as well as employing them in their research. Green chemistry is necessary to ensure safety and the continued success of the nanotechnology age.
