Funded Activity Summary

Polymer Stabilized and Bio-functionalised Metal Nanoparticles As Potential Vectors For Drug Therapies. The project aims to make novel nanoparticles (extremely small, nano means one billionth of a metre) that carry medicines to very specific sites of the body and then release them. This would result in much improved outcomes for conventional chemotherapy but may also allow new gene therapies where diseases can be silenced at their source.
