Meet Hillary Holback
Migliaccio/Pfizer Graduate
Fellowship in Pharmaceutical
Sciences Recipient
Hillary Holback is a doctoral
student studying under the direction
of Dr. Yoon Yeo in the Department
of Industrial and Physical Pharmacy.
She received her BS in Chemical
Engineering in 2008 from The
University of Tennessee. She is
currently working on her thesis,
“Distribution and cytotoxicity of
a nanoparticle drug delivery system
in a 3-dimensional tumor model,”
and her research interest focuses
on developing nanoparticulate
drug delivery systems for the
treatment of cancer. With an
anticipated graduation in August
of 2013, she plans to focus on the
research and development of novel
drug delivery systems and strategies
for cancer treatment within industry.
Ninth Annual
Garnet E. Peck
Symposium
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2011
7:30 AM - 5:00 PM
PURDUE UNIVERSITY
WEST LAFAYETTE, IN
“I am honored and excited to be
the recipient of the Migliaccio/Pfizer
Fellowship. My research focuses
on developing a nanosize drug
delivery system, which is designed
to alter its properties at tumors
for tumor-specific drug delivery,
and evaluating its effectiveness
in a 3-dimensional tumor model.
My ultimate goal is to contribute
meaningful insight in the effective
killing of tumors.”
