Bioengineering student Aaron Schwartz-Duval of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign recently participated in the French American Doctoral Exchange program (FADEx) for 2016: Nanoparticles for Medicine. The FADEx program invites both French and American students to participate in a seminar in France along with leading researchers in the field of nanoparticles in medicine. Schwartz-Duval was one of only 10 American students chosen for the award this year. He said he sees it as a wonderful opportunity to gain knowledge and exposure for his research.
