The Sacrificial Template

Kenosis and the Vanishing Carrier in Nanomedicine

An essay from the School of Continuous Improvement reads the design vocabulary of nanomedicine's drug carriers beside the Christ hymn of Philippians 2 and the modern debate on kenosis. From two semesters at one pharmaceutics group's bench and 211 notebook entries recording a template or a carrier coming to an end, it finds that the bench keeps two endings apart, the sacrificed template and the self-spending carrier, and argues that the carrier resembles kenosis through the hymn's first movement but has no "therefore": once emptied, it is called a blank.
