Funded Activity Summary

Encapsulation of magnetic nanoparticles for the hyperthermia treatment of liver cancer. This project will provide targeted hyperthermia treatment for liver cancer. The treatment will be non systemic and therefore, unlike radiotherapy and chemotherapy, will cause minimal collateral damage to healthy tissue within the patient. Liver cancer is one of the commoner forms of cancer in humans with estimates of up to 2 million patients per year being affected worldwide. Currently 95% of these patients will die from the condition. This project will lead to improvements in health outcomes for liver cancer patients. As a consequence of the worldwide demand for this treatment, and related equipment, the project will generate foreign exchange earnings through exports and new job opportunities in the clever end of small business enterprise.
