Funded Activity Summary

Early detection of tumours and diseases is vital for an effective and successful treatment. Current early detection methods are invasive and use toxic or radioactive chemicals. This project focuses on understanding how non-toxic, non-invasive ‘smart’ polymeric devices would work for early disease detection. It will provide next generation early detection devices which will reduce the cost of treatment, and increase the effectiveness of therapy.
