Tania Betancourt, PhD is a researcher working with QTMM Tetrapods at Star Park. (Pictured here with Steven Squires and David Doderer) http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/unique-university---industry-partnership-to-spur-tetrapod-quantum-dot-commercialization-226107601.html

Her 2007 Dissertation, linked here,

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.
