Jun Yang, from left, a former doctoral student and researcher in the Low research group, and Philip Low, Purdue's Ralph C. Corley Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, are shown in the group's lab. Low and Yang created a color-coded method to visualize the mechanisms of drug release within a cancer cell, advancing the field of targeted drug delivery.
