| Abstract | The purpose of this project is to quantify the interactions between the immunosuppressant cortisone, and lipid membranes through biophysics, to understand the limits of cortisone in clinical settings. Use a novel approach to drug-interactions that are more effective than accepted models drug action for cortisone localization and conformed crystallography to suggest better treatment options for clinicians, dentists, and researchers based on personalized medicine. |
