X. Chelsea Chen, a researcher at Berkeley Lab, holds a sample of a polymer membrane material that turned red when it soaked up a chemotherapy drug called doxorubicin. The material is designed to bind the drug, based on its electric charge, after the drug targets tumors and before it circulates throughout the body.
