She is a professor of chemical, biomolecular, and biomedical engineering and an associate director of the MRSEC Center for Emergent Materials at the Ohio State University.
Her research interests include nanoparticles for cancer imaging, diagnostics, and drug delivery; and cell migration in the brain tumor microenvironment.
[2] During her undergraduate career, she originally wished to study environmental law as a direct result of the Exxon Valdez oil spill but decided to concentrate on chemical engineering.
[6] The following academic year, Winter continued to develop Core Quantum Technologies Inc and received a four-year NSF grant to increase the production of nanoparticles for commercial use.
[9] In November 2014, Winter was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her work developing magnetic quantum dots for cell and molecular separations.
