is titled "Targetable Biodegradable Nanoparticles for Delivery of Chemotherapeutic and Imaging Agents to Ovarian Cancer" also describes her efforts to deliver Leukemia drug Doxorubicin via nanoparticles. I saw many links online about 2014 work for delivery of Doxorubicin via QDs.

I happened on this readable tutor also, "Designing multifunctional quantum dots for bioimaging, detection, and drug delivery" http://faculty.washington.edu/xgao/Images/Pavel2010Review.pdf

Imaging of treatment of cancer using QDs looks promising.
