Speed Ultrasound Lab won a new research grant, funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) to develop new drug delivery technology to the brain. The problem with cancer drugs, or chemotherapy in general, is that drugs kill the health tissue along with the tumour. Our technology, which is a combination of microwaves and ultrasound, will be able to activate the cancer drugs on demand, only at desired locations inside the brain to minimize the collateral damage.
Initial results of our project are ready to be published. Updates will be coming!
